Tess is the female lead in a very successful Sci-Fi series. She longs to escape from the sexist and stereotypical role that has given her fame but no one around her can believe she would leave a starring role. When a photo leaks that suggests her leading man and real-life husband is cheating on her, Tess turns to her trusted assistant for support. Unfortunately, that may not have been the wisest choice.
Acting
Betsy Brandt sells Tess's trapped desperation like she's lived it.
Writing
Sharp on industry sexism, shakier on thriller mechanics.
