When Eve's agent calls her on a dark January morning with the offer of a role in up-and-coming Director Ben Kelley's next feature, the folk horror Fisherton Anger, it seems like her career might be finally about to take off. Approaching middle age and struggling with the idea of having a second child with her husband, this role could be her last chance at establishing herself as a major talent. What begins as professional alignment quickly mutates into an intoxicating game of desire and performance, threatening the fragile equilibrium both have established in their lives. As the trial that rocked the vanished community of Fisherton Anger unfolds on set, Eve and Ben are faced with difficult questions about power, ethics, the politics of desire, and the uncanny ways in which art mirrors life. At once delicate and powerful, Best Supporting Actress is Jessica Traynor's stunningly compelling prose debut.
