Butterfly is a suspense/horror hybrid about NICK COLE, a straight-to-video horror director who is kidnapped by, LANEY, an over zealous fan, determined to impress him with her own film project. The situation goes from bad to worse when Cole realizes that the murders in Laney's film are real, and that the victims are all people from his own dark past.

When a jaded film director gets stranded in Rome, a chance encounter with an alluring model on her own Italian misadventure sets them both on a journey of self discovery.
