The Lead explores the eccentric & fragile mind of an actor, and plays with public fascination & often warped perception of the 'movie star' We follow a man reliving a past, basking in glory & crossing the line between imagination & reality.

Following his great success with "North by Northwest," director Alfred Hitchcock makes a daring choice for his next project: an adaptation of Robert Bloch's novel "Psycho." When the studio refuses to back the picture, Hitchcock decides to pay for it himself in exchange for a percentage of the profits. His wife, Alma Reville, has serious reservations about the film but supports him nonetheless. Still, the production strains the couple's marriage.
