A dedicated ballet dancer wins the lead role in "Swan Lake," which requires her to portray both the innocent White Swan and the sensual, manipulative Black Swan. The pressure of perfection and competition from a rival dancer causes her to descend into a fractured mental state where the lines between reality and paranoia blur.
