Synopsis

Artist Harriet Burden, furious at the lack of recognition she has received from the art world, embarks on an experiment: she hides her identity behind three male fronts. Yet, even after she has unmasked herself, some refuse to believe she is the woman behind the men. One thing is clear: Burden's involvement with the last of her 'masks' turned into a dangerous psychological game that ended with the man's bizarre death.
