Katie, a freelance video editor desperate for work, receives a high-paying offer to edit a mysterious and bizarre video from an anonymous employer. Cash-strapped and facing eviction, Katie eagerly accepts the gig. The video depicts people being tortured and even murdered on camera - surely just a sophisticated fabrication. But when the first job leads to even more lucrative work and more disturbingly realistic snuff films, Katie's life begins to fall apart. Strange figures in her apartment, terrifying nightmares that keep her awake, and a mysterious illness plaguing her cat. It's only when Katie finally decides to quit her job that she learns just how cruel her anonymous employer really is, and to what devilish lengths she herself will go to in order to get out of her contract.
