Untouchable Things

Danger lurks within a close-knit group of London artists as a puppet master plots the fate of a beautiful actress in this psychological thriller.

London actress Rebecca Laurence is center stage and shining in her role as Ophelia. For one audience member in particular, she is like a ballerina impaled in a musical box—one that he longs to add to his collection. Amid the thundering applause, he watches closely.

Later, Rebecca meets the charismatic Seth Gardner. As attraction grows between them, he invites her to join his Friday Folly, a group of artistic friends. But as Rebecca is drawn into the web of tangled relationships all is not as it appears. The scene is set for one climactic night that will rip the group apart. Consumed by loss and surrounded by secrets, Rebecca must now escape the grip of the Folly if she intends to survive. And meanwhile, one man continues to watch.
