    • Synopsis
    • Rachel Victoria Drummond, a famous dancer who had to quit dancing after an accident, wants to succeed as a choreographer. One day, she visits Dr. Petr Zimmermann, a genius neuroscientist who has invented a creativity-sharing machine called N.I.C.E. (Neurological Interchange Communication Equipment), a machine that taps into peoples’ talents and consciousness. As Rachel continues to use the machine, her relationship with Dr. Zimmermann dissolves into one of seduction and abuse. Lines between ordinary reality and N.I.C.E. reality blur as Rachel is torn between the life she has always wanted and the sacrifice she must make to keep it.
