Overview

After losing an acting role and his girlfriend, Jake Scully finally catches a break: he gets offered a gig house-sitting in the Hollywood Hills. While peering through the beautiful home's telescope one night, he spies a gorgeous woman dancing in her window. But when he witnesses the girl's murder, it leads Scully through the netherworld of the adult entertainment industry on a search for answers—with porn actress Holly Body as his guide.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A stylish thriller that keeps you guessing by constantly making you question what Jake, and the audience, have actually seen. It's a slick descent into LA's seedier underbelly that's equally fascinated with its protagonist's desperation as it is with the mystery itself.
