Author Otto Dean braves his fears of impending death as he sets out to write a novel opposing the controlling presence of heartless artwork & propaganda in an alternate 1980s America after being recognized for his opinion piece in the newspaper. Upon visiting a local art hot spot and speaking with a woman named Lorelei, he learns of recent murders in the area & encounters an uncanny resemblance between his own recurring dreams and a local artist's work, leading him down a further rabbit hole as he tries to catch hold of the elusive artist Inez Sabalenka.

The story follows a young male, named Alonzo, struggling with conflicts on all sides of his life leading him to suicide and leaving his unacquainted friends to figure out why and later accept that this is the reality. The two friends, Jeremy and Luca, are different, yet are united through their mutual friendship with Alonzo. I am trying to convey the reality of being 'torn apart' through this film; showing that two many moving parts of someones life can cause a strain, and later a tear.
