In the fiercely competitive backdrop of the contemporary Los Angeles art world, a naive young man named Elliot (Cooper Hoffman) lands an incredibly lucrative job assisting the iconic, provocative visual artist Erika Tracy (Olivia Wilde). He is absolutely ecstatic when his seductive new employer selects him to become her official sexual muse. However, the dream scenario quickly sours into a perilous nightmare as the artist draws him deeper into a twisted labyrinth of dark obsession and psychological power games. Before long, Elliot finds himself entirely out of his depth, desperately struggling to maintain his relationship with his girlfriend Minerva (Charli XCX).
New Queer Cinema pioneer Gregg Araki directs this wickedly intelligent erotic thriller, returning to the bold, transgressive themes that defined his legendary independent career. Delivering incisive commentary alongside bawdy and brave performance from leads Wilde and Hoffman, the film also features strong supporting performances from Chase Sui Wonders and Daveed Diggs.
