In una notte di ottobre, la giovane e bella Ashley Cordova viene trovata morta in un magazzino abbandonato di Lower Manhattan. Anche se il caso viene archiviato come suicidio, Scott McCrath, giornalista investigativo con anni di esperienza alle spalle, sospetta che ci sia molto di più dietro. Scavando nelle strane circostanze che segnano la vita e la morte di Ashley, McGrath finisce per scontrarsi con l'eredità del padre della ragazza: il leggendario regista di film horror di culto Stanislas Cordova, un uomo che non appare in pubblico da oltre trent'anni. E anche se in molti hanno scritto sugli oscuri, inquietanti film del regista, dell'uomo non si sa nulla, o quasi. Già in passato McGrath aveva cercato di far luce su questo personaggio, ottenendo però di distruggere solo il suo matrimonio e la sua carriera. Ma ora rischia di perdere molto di più. Così, guidato dalla vendetta, dalla curiosità, ma anche dalla sete di verità, McGrath viene risucchiato sempre più nel mondo ipnotico e misterioso di Stanislas Cordova.

Work Description
Ashley Cordova is dead. Scott McGrath, a veteran investigative journalist wants to know why. The reason why the death of this beautiful, young woman has piqued his interest so much is because of who her father is. He is Stanislas Cordova, the world famous director of strange cult/horror films that hasn't been seen publicly in over thirty years. The last time McGrath got involved with Cordova he lost his marriage, child, and career. This time he might lose everything else. With the aid of two strangers, McGrath takes a strange and psychedelic journey where not everything in front is real and what is real is more horrifying than anything that Cordova has put on screen.
