CGiii Comment

Dionne has just been broken up with when she meets the beautiful and enchanting Juliana. Juliana finds Di interesting, different from other people, and thus invites her to model for her in a photo shoot. Di quickly begins to fall for Juliana's confidence and wildlife. Di becomes obsessed, soon not able to tell reality from fantasy and panic-induced nightmare. Juliana, meanwhile, goes on to show her true colors and emotionally manipulate the fragile Di. Dionne's ensuing obsession and fear influence the way she interprets the world around her, ultimately devolving into a paranoid breakdown.
