Rebecca is an unemployed actress who is living with an equally unsuccessful screenwriter, Sarfras. Rebecca makes a living by caring for a blind and diabetic woman while going from one disastrous relationship to the next. Rebecca is invited to
understudy the famous movie star Simone Harwin in an
off-Broadway production of
Electra. However, Rebecca's unfulfillment is compounded: despite outshining Simone with her own talent, Rebecca is treated as second-class, either bullied or ignored by the cast and crew, which includes the director Ian and stage manager Alison. Her salvation lies within her relationship with the seemingly perfect firefighter Bobby. Accidents start to disrupt the leading ladies of
Electra, and as Rebecca's star begins to rise, suspicion surrounds her. ==Cast==
