"Your identity has just been stolen." An isolated photographer returns home to find his apartment ransacked, his credit accounts compromised, and a bizarre recording waiting on his computer. Soon, he receives an anonymous phone call from a young woman seeking his help in committing a crime of revenge. This layered story weaves themes of identity, intimate secrets, and the shifting meaning of the past. Ashley Rain Turner, JP Allen and Rebecca deBoer star in this noir mystery.
