When a film star and her director storm into the night, the director makes a bold claim: he can turn any girl into a star. He chooses Hazel, launching her into the spotlight—but with a price. As her fame grows, so does the tension, especially when the director shows her footage that makes it seem Mark is involved with Bunny Warren. The line between illusion and reality blurs, and the dream begins to unravel.
