Laura Dern stars in this surrealist psychological thriller written and directed by David Lynch. Actress Nikki Grace (Dern)'s new role tests her to her limits. She soon finds herself falling for her co-star Devon Berk (Justin Theroux) while the film's director Kingsley Stewart (Jeremy Irons) is a cloying, creepy character but, far worse, the production is apparently cursed. An earlier attempt to make the film in Poland ended in tragedy when the two leads were murdered. As Grace begins to take on some of the personality traits of her character, she has trouble distinguishing between real life and film, while the Phantom (Krzysztof Majchrzak) dogs her every step.
