Described as an “hypnotic exploration of identity, body image and transformation” and a “sleekly demented De Palma-esque nightmare”, the film is set in the vintage clothing world of Austin, Texas, and tells the story of April (Amanda Fuller) and Eric (Ethan Embry), a 30-something couple who run a vintage clothing store. Business is booming, but cracks are showing in the relationship. When April’s growing fears about Eric’s infidelity prove true, she begins an affair with sharp-dressed playboy Randall (Eric Balfour), a narcissistic control freak with a chic modernist mansion and some pretty extreme sexual appetites.
