1984, Chicago. A music prodigy and a theater performer chase volatile dreams.
Matteo Harvey is a gifted young composer who receives a six-figure grant to write a musical. As he flourishes in the musical world and indulges in the luxuries that come with it, his grasp on reality begins to falter. On the other side of the city, August Cho is an established performer at the Black Swan Theater. For most of his career, he has bargained with a ghost in the Theater’s basement to land his dream roles, unaware of the consequences that now loom over him.
As their ambitions entangle them in overindulgence and supernatural negotiations, Matteo and August spiral into unreliable realms. This genre-blending story of art, identity, and passion paints a haunting portrait of two musicians on the edge who must confront the cost of their desires.
What do you want, and how far will you go for it?
