In the shadowy glamour of 1953’s Hollywood, actress Sandra uncovers a cursed Roman trumpet on the set of *The Gladiator*, unaware that its blast could bind her to the ancient god Dis. As tensions rise behind the camera, she’s tempted by the power it offers—especially when the cast turns against her. The real horror isn’t on screen; it’s in the choices she’s about to make.
