The Crimson Mask

An outwardly-wealthy businessman and a professional wrestler who has fallen on hard times find their fates colliding in an alternate-universe New York City where an ancient conspiracy could prove the path to redemption. Their lives controlled by lust, greed, and envy, sharp-dressed Thomas Caine and bruised grappler Parker are drawn into a mysterious ritual that may provide them with the means of making a clean break from their troubled pasts--should they survive their arduous ordeal. A crime-noir thriller with strong fantasy undertones, "The Crimson Mask" marks the feature directorial debut of Elias Plagianos, whose unique vision garnered 40 film-festival awards from around the world.
