The film follows the famous author Verity Crawford and Lowen Ashleigh, a struggling female writer who temporarily moves to the remote mansion of the Crawfords to work as a ghostwriter for Verity. When Wanneer Lowen discovers something strongly reminiscent of Verity's chilling autobiography, she is startled by the disturbing revelations about Verity's husband Jeremy. At the same time, the distinction between fiction and reality, manipulation and attraction, chance and obsession increasingly blurs.
