Porter Wren is a Manhattan tabloid writer with an appetite for scandal. On the beat he sells murder, tragedy, and anything that passes for the truth. At home, he is a dedicated husband and father. But when Caroline, a seductive stranger asks him to dig into the unsolved murder of her filmmaker husband Simon, he is drawn into a very nasty case of sexual obsession and blackmail--one that threatens his job, his marriage, and his life.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Brian DeCubellis spent 15 years as a music video producer; this was his feature debut. The visual polish makes sense now.
The 'found footage within a film' structure awkwardly chases the 2010s analog horror trend (Sinister, etc.) but grafted onto retro noir. It doesn't graft well.
