On a whim, Eve (a young Swedish traveler) accepts an invitation from Peter (a wealthy heir) to vacation on his family’s private island off the coast of New England. As a series of unexpected delays prevent other guests from arriving, Eve discovers that she has little in common with the increasingly erratic Peter and that something is not quite right on this mysterious island. Gradually the idyllic natural beauty of her surroundings dissolves, and Eve finds herself trapped in an unstable reality punctuated by feverish visions, dimensional shifting and secret pizza.

The film was shot on the Vineyard with a team consisting of many local artists, designers, builders, boatsmen, and filmmakers. Directed by Sundance award-winning director Matthew Lessner, and produced by myself. While the film is a psychological thriller, our aim was to capture the mystery, mysticism and beauty that I knew of the island from growing up there in the summers.
