In a rainy, nocturnal London, underground photographer Miles obsessively captures unforgiving, morbid portraits of unaware strangers. When he’s not selling them, he shares them online as “Rain Catcher”. But soon he notices something unsettling in his photos: a mysterious woman watching him and photographing him – turning the lens back on Miles. As her gaze closes in, his world fractures – his work is sabotaged, his name defamed, his loved ones endangered. Consumed by paranoia, he spirals into a dark, delirious obsession to uncover the truth behind her motives.

“Genre enthusiasts will find lots to like here, from its rich saturated nighttime ambience to the moody, cine-techno score by Aeph. It’s a film about what happens in the shadows, and its time in the spotlight starts now.” (Damon Wise, https://deadline.com)
