Plot Summary

At a remote lake house in the Adirondack Mountains, a couple entertains an out-of-town guest looking for inspiration in her filmmaking. The group quickly falls into a calculated game of desire, manipulation, and jealousy, unaware of how dangerously convoluted their lives will soon become in the filmmaker's pursuit of a work of art, which blurs the boundaries between autobiography and invention.

Goofs In the second half of the film, Allison (Aubrey Plaza) is sitting in a chair and casually flashes her panties as she repositions her dress. The panties she's wearing are white. Then later on, when she is coming on to Baako (Grantham Coleman) she takes off the same dress and is now wearing black panties. There was no indication of a wardrobe change between these two scenes.
