Arriving at the shoot, Liz meets Philip, an intense and successful young photographer and she feels flattered by his interest. But all is not what it seems in this remote middle class area… and while Liz poses for her new friend Philip (Ryan Elliott), she has no idea of the horror that is lurking in the shadow… until… Liz finds a body, panic stricken she knows they have to escape, she tries her only hope… Ben.

Or will the sinister game of cat and mouse end in a bloody masterpiece. Life Imitates Art… Art Imitates Death.
