Every rating
An aspiring actor, struggling to find legitimate work, accepts an unusual job: using his performance skills to help a lawyer simulate crime scenes. He must "play dead" to test witness statements and legal theories. This strange profession pulls him into a real case that is far more complex and dangerous than he anticipated, blurring the lines between performance and reality and placing him in genuine peril.
