​

Unknown actor Jane is thrust into the spotlight when visionary auteur Gianna casts her in “Frayed”, Gianna’s comeback film. Jane will play “Stella”, a mysterious drifter who stumbles upon a commune run by charismatic “Ike” (played by enigmatic Rory). 

​

Jane dives deep into the role, her natural talent winning Gianna’s warm praise, while the director humiliates Rory instead. Despite Jane’s chemistry with Rory, tension festers when he challenges her true commitment to the craft. Meanwhile, Jane struggles to cast out intrusive memories of her mother; a once-celebrated musician who spent her final years in bitter isolation.

​

When Gianna’s praise of Jane switches to vitriol, she begins to spiral. As she moves scene-by-scene towards the sinister truth of Ike’s commune, the boundaries between real and the imaginary, character and actor begin to blur, and the symbiotic quest for artistic perfection propels the three players in this toxic triangle towards the brink.
