ABOUT THE PROJECT

LOGLINE
Claude, an American expat who has used his privilege to sexually manipulate men, concocts an expensive scheme where he hires an African-American personal fitness trainer to live with him for one hundred days on an inherited lake front property to help him attain the “perfect body.” Professional boundaries are crossed, and Claude’s carnal desires lead to deadly consequences.

SYNOPSIS
Claude, a New York socialite, utilizes his wealthy mother Gwen to cover up an accidental death. Fleeing to Serbia, where Gwen resides, he encounters personal trainer Mason. Claude’s immediate fixation births a scheme to employ Mason as a live-in trainer at an isolated family lake house. Gwen concludes Mason won’t receive payment unless there’s a physical transformation. Mason’s partner Zayn joins them, posing as a chef. However, when it becomes clear Claude lacks conviction, Mason locks him in the basement and a scuffle leads to the accidental death of Zayn. Instead of alerting the authorities, the two men dispose of the body.
