Taking place over a tense evening at the home of actress-turnedreluctant homemaker Rose( Elizabeth Reaser) and her agent husband Sammy( Walton Goggins), the film is a sharp critique of Hollywood ' s ageism and gender biases. As they host a small party to impress a star client( Rufus Sewell), tensions simmer beneath the glamorous façade, revealing the pressures of career, aging, and identity. When an elderly woman( Lois Smith) unexpectedly arrives, claiming the house was once hers, her presence forces Rose and Sammy to confront the industry ' s unspoken rules about who belongs— and who is no longer welcome. The film ' s insider view of Hollywood offers a biting, introspective look at the costs of playing the game in a youth-obsessed industry.
