This film is about a girl who wants to be an actress. She gets a part in a play that seems to revolve around sex trafficking that makes her start experiencing strange episodes. She finds herself in one place and in the blink of an eye she is in another. The place she finds herself in happens to be a place where she is actually living as a victim of sex trafficking. These episodes are very real for her and she starts to see a therapist out of concern that there may be something wrong with her. She reveals that these experiences have happened at other moments in her life. She gives herself over to these events in an attempt to make sense of it all and begins to act on her own theories. What is going on here? This is your plot.

I found the first parts of this film to be a bit confusing but I hung in there and ended up really enjoying it. This isn't overly bloody or gory and while there is some nudity, it isn't what I would consider sexually explicit. The story does have some holes but not so many that I couldn't overlook them and simply take it for what it was.

All-in-all, even with its low budget, plot holes and initial confusion this turned out to be a fairly decent film. Just don't be a horror snob and give it credit for being one of the better B movies. I'm glad I checked it out.
