Comedy can be funny-until it gets you killed.
When struggling stand-up comic Dan Goodis witnesses the assassination of a reclusive physicist who leaves him a mysterious code, his life spirals into paranoia and danger.
Hunted by a secret cabal and betrayed by the woman sent to protect him, Dan can't tell what's real-or whom to trust.
As he decodes the fragments, his once-ordinary life collapses into deception and fear.
Comedy clubs become interrogation rooms and therapy sessions, and love turns into a weapon he can't control.
Haunted by betrayal and surrounded by enemies, Dan must finish the hermit's work before they silence him for good.
