Synopsis

Alison Wynn is an amateur triathlete who convinces Dr. Laura Stevens, a controversial peak-performance trainer, to take her on as a client. Together, they embark on a rigorous program combining cutting-edge physical training with experimental hypnotherapy in an effort to make Alison more competitive. Pushed to her limits and forced to confront the painful repressed memories of her mother's suicide, Dr. Stevens' punishing regimen helps Alison achieve impressive gains and break through her own glass ceiling; but at what cost? Alison's work and family life with her husband and daughter suffer, but no sacrifice seems too great to satisfy Laura's escalating demands. In fact, Laura will do whatever it takes to have Alison all to herself. As Alison runs directly into Laura's sinister psychological trap, it's up to Alison's daughter to help her mother see through the deception before they lose her forever.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 23

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
