MOVIE SYNOPSIS: Max, a 25-year-old freelance writer and aspiring novelist, appears to be on the path to success in London's cultural circles. However, at night, he finds a different kind of thrill as a sex worker under the pseudonym Sebastian, meeting men through an escort platform. Max uses his experiences as Sebastian to fuel his stories, and the long-awaited debut novel he has been eager to write finally seems within reach. As Max increasingly struggles to maintain control over a delicately balanced double life, he must confront whether Sebastian is merely a tool for a writer in his quest for the ultimate sense of firsthand authenticity, or if something more is at stake.
