Opening in a dark, poorly lit and fairly creepy theatre, a formally dressed unnamed male introduces the lead act to the show, an escape artist who will be performing an escape from rope/chain or other such equipment. His also unnamed girlfriend/fiance/partner is watching from behind stage along with the envious eyes of her stalker/fancier, also unnamed. An accident occurs in the escape and the artist is killed. She rushes to the stage and soon realises that it was the other man who wanted her for himself who has killed him. She goes to his dressing room, or just a random room where he is and kills him. She then climbs the steps of the theatre tower and jumps off.
This is the simplest form of the story, the film itself will be non-linear, so you will see the death of the main man fairly close to the beginning, the death of the lead female at the end and the death of the killer near the end, her descent to the tower will be at the beginning. The clips of her waiting to jump, climbing the stairs, her partners performance, his death the killers death etc. will all be pieced together in a fragmented and non-linear order. This however will not take the audience away from the storyline, it will not be complicated to understand, and also this will not degrade the visual style of the film in anyway.
