An eccentric bored housewife masterminds a heist, enlisting her hapless nephew and his flat-broke friend. Her obsession with social media brings about unexpected results. This dark comedy captures the way social media alters our perception of others and even ourselves. BOOKED is about the risks some people are willing to take by exhibiting their lives; it illustrates how easy it is to get trapped in a narcissistic and miserable state by seeking virtual attention. Where should one draw the line between acceptable and excessive?

Hazel runs a beauty salon out of her house, but makes extra money by providing ruthless women the oppurtunity to perform hit jobs. L.T. is a parasite, and contacts Hazel looking for work after he runs out of money. She is reluctant to use him for a hit, since she prefers using women, but decides to try him on a trial basis. Meanwhile, the cop she pays off wants an arrest to make it look like he's doing his job, but Hazel doesn't want to sacrifice any of her "associates". The sleazy side of life is explored in this delightfully dark and deadpan film.
