In a world where the thin line between reality and fiction blurs, a fugitive named Eli Knapp becomes an unlikely protagonist in an action movie. After escaping the law, Eli stumbles upon a film set that is in full swing and, somewhat accidentally, ends up being recruited as a stunt double. However, his path to glory is not as straightforward as it seems; being known for his incredible ability to handle physical dangers, he quickly finds himself caught in a deadly game of survival, both on-screen and off.
The situation becomes more complicated when he becomes the object of attention for the eccentric and charismatic film director, who sees in Eli not just a double, but an opportunity to create a masterpiece. With each action scene they film, Eli faces real dangers, leading him to question his own reality and the nature of peril. As he dives deeper into the world of cinema, he also grapples with a magnetic attraction to the stunning actress starring in the film. Amidst the adrenaline, romance, and paranoia, Eli must decide whether he is willing to risk it all for the spectacle or if his life is beyond this movie in which he has become entangled. In a brilliant play of metaphors, the film explores themes such as identity and sacrifice in the name of art.
