A cynical look at four self-important, obsessive photographers who turn their lenses on the people in their own lives as part of an experimental portfolio, with devastating results. Danny (Zak Jeffries) finds his fianc? in bed with another man, and uses his camera to commemorate the event, end the relationship, and then follow his former love. David (Jamie Sinsz), an intense, heartless womanizer, creates a portfolio of his sexual conquests, until he falls for one of his "subjects".

Kevin (Michael Caloia) is love-struck by a new relationship, and doesn't want to miss a moment of it - but will find there are darker ends to capture when a family member begins to die.
