Installation artist Miranda Fall follows, photographs and documents the lives of strangers to create her art. One night, her secret lover (Sam Shepard) witnesses a violent act from Miranda’s apartment window. To protect his identity, she poses as the primary witness, making statements to the police about a crime she did not see. This simultaneously selfish and selfless act sends Miranda into a maze of doubt and fear, blurring the lines between artist and subject.
