1960s. Monica, a young, rebellious small town girl is determined to make it as a singer in the jazz clubs of New York City. Beautiful and sensual, she embarks on the singing career of her dreams, but she soon realises that having it all comes at a price. Behind the glamour, Monica struggles to face the dark side of fame and success. As late nights of working and partying consume a bigger part in her life, the walls around her begin to shake. With a string of broken love affairs, a father she can never please, and a daughter to whom she'll never be the perfect mother, Monica finds herself feeling more lost than ever. And when the morning breaks, she's alone, with a cocktail in her hand. Is this a road with no turning back?

When a mild-mannered film editor is assigned to cut a series of slasher films, the violent, gory footage he works with drives him murderously mad.
