THE BLUE ORCHID is an escape from reality. Casper is a young photographer living in his own studio with his girlfriend and business partner. Together they make a living from small commercial jobs, but Casper feels unfulfilled and stuck in life. One day, his old mentor introduces him to a man who runs a shady video business. Casper gets hired and is slowly seduced into a strange mystery that completely twists his sense of reality and leaves his real-life relationships in pieces.
