Plot

Before Sam, gangsters murder his girlfriend Georgia, to whom he had intended to propose. Overwhelmed by grief, he flees and conceals himself in Paris, where he is compelled to endure a desolate existence. His sole source of solace consists of frequent visits to the cinema.

Three years later, his latent hope is rekindled when he recognizes his beloved's likeness on the silver screen, portrayed by a renowned Hollywood actress named Georgia. Driven by an obsession with his past love and a determination to unravel the truth, Sam returns to Los Angeles, where he once again becomes entangled in the violent machinations of the mafia.

Production

In February 2018, it was announced that Samara Weaving, Carly Chaikin, Zach Avery, Brian Cox, Udo Kier, and Hal Ozsan had joined the film casting, with James and Colin Krisel directing from a screenplay they wrote. [3]

Reception

According to Leslie Felperin's review for The Guardian, "this identity thriller suffers from over-reliance on coincidences and perplexing cameos from Brian Cox and Udo Kier". [5] Reviews in Filmhounds and Firstpost were very critical of the production. [6] [7]
