According to the official synopsis, the story unfolds amid the glittering excess of Art Basel Miami. An ambitious gallery owner, reeling from a bitter breakup and mounting financial trouble, is desperate to prove herself despite remaining on the fringes of elite society. In a spur-of-the-moment bid for survival, she launches an audacious scam by passing off an accidental corpse as the centerpiece of her debut exhibition. But when celebrities, influencers and police descend on the gallery, the scheme spirals into a chaotic race against time fueled by deception and spectacle.
