The Last Magician is about power and
betrayal, sexual obsession and social ostracism. At its center is
Lucy, a good girl and a whore, whose nights are spent in a kaleidoscope
of identities as she dons the masks her customers demand. Charlie
is a photographer, filmmaker, voyeur, and the last magician
monitoring Lucy, piecing together the splinters of evidence surrounding
the death of a child and a murder that happened half a lifetime
ago.
