Christopher Abbot plays Reed, who has an insatiable desire: He wants to kill. So Reed fakes a business trip and checks into a hotel, where he plans to murder a prostitute. Jackie (Mia Wasikowska) arrives, and Reed finds that his seemingly well-laid plan might not work out as he assumed it would.

This deliriously twisted tale of violence, sex, and domination constantly doubles back on itself, revealing new and shocking aspects of each character as it gives Abbot and Wasikowska the most daring material of their careers.
