When TV researcher Mia goes in search of a long-lost fabled horror film, she puts herself in danger.

Tasked with producing an item for a TV show about Britain's worst film director, researcher Mia goes in search for the fabled horror film Earworm and its creator.

Urban myths surround this little known video nasty, with rumours that cast and crew suffered unexplained accidents during production, its director went into hiding after destroying all known copies of the film, and that its soundtrack is capable of affecting the viewer in sinister ways.

Spurred on rather deterred by the myths, Mia seeks out the film's secret…

Starring Chloe Pirrie.
