埃尔金是灯塔的看守人，他负债累累。因此而伤害了他生命中最爱的两个人，他的哥哥科雷和前未婚妻梅芙。一天，埃尔金收到爷爷去世的消息后，他赶到养老院发现爷爷还活着。爷爷对他说，他需要的钱，他会给他，但有一个条件：埃尔金必须在一周内跟科雷和梅芙平议。 watched it tonight at MaD Movies. It's the most disturbing film I have seen so far and it was not abt violence, sex or whatsoever ppl usually associate with 'disturbing'. It confuses me about reality, manipulation and acting here. It makes it impossible for me to avoid thinking about how TV shows and news affect ones' lives. And Cyrus impresses me greatly by telling all his audience he is the manipulator by acting in the film. Cyrus said after the screening that he actually wanted people to get angry at the film, to hate him so that they would think what he did in the film was wrong. But he found it difficult to further evoke audience to think why they think it is wrong.
