Four estranged friends reunite and spend the night in a remote country house that was once home to a Manson Family like cult. As the night goes on, the strange rituals in the house's past open connections between the past, the present and the subconscious, forcing all the characters to confront their deepest secrets and darkest demons, or be destroyed by them.

Dans ce film qui jette un point de vue caustique sur le Hollywood des années 30, le scénariste Herman J. Mankiewicz, alcoolique invétéré au regard acerbe, tente de boucler à temps le script de Citizen Kane d’Orson Welles.
