When Tom, an art house aficionado, returns to his hometown to attend the Brolleywood film studies conference, he discovers that his ex-girlfriend Esme has recently married their former prof, Cinny. Contact with the couple, gossip with his friend Nasim, and flirtation with a Hollywood bit player known as Lady Lex draw Tom into a noirish plot that may have Chabrol-ish consequences for his rival, and permanently distance him from his fiancée, a skilled harpsichordist named Ciana. As he navigates shifting islands of personal memory, Tom begins to wonder if life is not just a retcon (or the most contrived form of retroactive continuity). The price of admission includes an amateur opera matinee, a pub discourse on Godard-McBride Breathless Paradox, a giallo nightmare, and a hypnagogic hallucination inspired by a Tarkovsky retrospective, all threatened by the skintight spectre of the next superhero franchise.
