A murky psychological mystery about a dissolute actor confronting fragmented memories of a transgressive night, where self-deception proves more protective than truth.

A debauched Hollywood movie actor tries to piece together one wild night in Miami years earlier which remains a drug-induced blur, and soon finds out that some questions about his past are best left unanswered.
