Description
When rising popstar Oliver (Archie Madekwe, Saltburn) visits the store where Matthew (Théodore Pellerin, Never Rarely Sometimes Always) works, Matthew doesn’t hesitate to take this opportunity to worm his way into Oliver’s in-crowd, employing strategies of which only Tom Ripley would approve. The deeper Matthew’s connection to Oliver gets, the higher all the lies pile up. This gripping and entertaining drama about the blurred lines between idols and fans is the promising directorial debut of Alex Russell (producer on The Bear and Beef).
