Australian filmmaker Julian Shaw (as himself) travels to the United States to direct a documentary focusing on ‘mental humiliatrix' Ceara Lynch (as herself). Julian films everything he witnesses to the point of obsession. With his camera always in hand, he delves into Ceara's unconventional life. He sees the power she wields in her profession and is enthralled. Ceara ensnares Julian in her illusory world and he quickly develops misplaced feelings for her. His newfound proximity reveals that, in her work, the line between fantasy and reality isn’t as clear as she has lead him to believe.
