The threshold of madness is not a line — it's an invitation.
Memory is not a straight line; it’s a maze. When Mia wakes from a coma, fragments of her life float back without order or certainty. The man she loves is gone. The past doesn’t quite add up. And the story she’s always told herself begins to feel dangerously incomplete.
As Mia searches for clarity, the film pulls us inside her fractured perception, where recollection and reinvention begin to blur. Reality shifts, meaning mutates, and trust (in others and in herself) becomes the most fragile currency of all.
Anchored by a fearless performance from Simone Ashley (Bridgerton), supported by a superb cast that includes Austin Stowell (Bridge of Spies, Whiplash), Suraj Sharma (Life of Pi), and Zenobia Shroff (The Big Sick, Ms. Marvel), This Tempting Madness is a hypnotic psychological thriller about identity, control, and the stories we cling to in order to survive. It’s not about what happened — it’s about when the truth finally refuses to stay quiet.
Inspired by a true story, This Tempting Madness immerses the audience in a consciousness under siege — where memory fractures, identity slips, and survival depends on which truths we’re willing to face. It’s a film that doesn’t offer easy answers, only the unnerving clarity that arrives when denial can no longer hold.
