About this event
A late-night radio DJ in California becomes the target of an increasingly obsessive fan who begins inserting herself into his personal life. What starts as flirtatious contact escalates into stalking, emotional manipulation, and escalating violence that disrupts both his relationships and sense of safety. Clint Eastwood’s directorial debut leans into a taut psychological thriller structure, using its coastal California setting and radio broadcast framework to build intimacy and unease at the same time. The film steadily tightens its focus as admiration curdles into fixation, turning everyday encounters into sources of threat.
