This is a really solid psychological thriller. The tension between Seth played by Adam Wepler and his intensely competitive (and rich) long lost brother Richard played by Nicholas Tucci is fantastic even if the source of the conflict is obtuse, rounding out the main cast is the enigmatic Abby played by Catherine Corcoran, whose intentions are unknown throughout the film. With Seth everything is on the surface, what you see is what you get. He's insecure, genuine and unsuccessful, but the other characters have their hidden agendas and motivations which propel the story forward as Seth is jostled from one psycho-drama to the next, never fully comfortable but still craving connection and drawn to the allure of financial support despite the psychological abuse.
This film is a bit reminiscent of films like The Game or Cloverfield Lane, but stands on it's own merit. The script is very clever, the acting is phenomenal and the production value and music is outstanding. This is the kind of film indies strive to be.
I highly recommend watching this film, sink into it, you'll be surprised where it takes you.
