The Hook

What if the killer could become anyone?

Paul Fry is a special-effects artist with an extraordinary talent for creating hyper-realistic human masks. Behind his ordinary exterior, he is preparing a carefully constructed campaign of revenge.

“Steal a face. Kill a victim. Make someone innocent pay.”

Detectives Saul and Haddad investigate murders in which the evidence seems to point toward people who did not commit them. The killer's greatest weapon is identity itself.

Why This Film

A thriller with a built-in visual identity.

A Killer's Craft

Paul's profession isn't background detail. His ability to manufacture convincing human faces is the engine of the crimes.

The Investigation

Detectives follow evidence that appears airtight while the audience sees how expertly it has been manipulated.

Personal Revenge

Paul's violence grows from old grievances that have hardened into a methodical obsession.
