In 1957, a young woman was found dead under mysterious circumstances in the hotel room of a superstar, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis–esque comedy team. Now, fifteen years later, journalist Karen O’Connor (Alison Lohman) becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth behind the scandal that led Lanny Morris (Kevin Bacon) and Vince Collins (Colin Firth) to break up their hugely successful act. But the deeper she digs into the past, the more ambiguous and disturbing events become in this seductive, time-shifting noir puzzle from master director Atom Egoyan.
