Miranda Fitch's life is a mess. Her directing career is in shambles, and a chronic back injury has her hooked on painkillers.

But the "deal" unveils a nightmarish reality that ensnares Miranda in a surreal, high-stakes game with deadly consequences. As Miranda's world spirals out of control, she must confront the ghosts of her past to survive.
