Her Private Hell is the latest feature film from Nicolas Winding Refn, who wrote the story and co-wrote the screenplay with Esti Giordani. In the future a strange mist descends on a metropolis. Sophie Thatcher plays Elle, daughter to Dougray Scott's Johnny Thunders, who has recently married Elle's best friend Dominique, played by Havana Rose Liu. New in town is Kristine Froseth as Hunter, who joins Elle's sci-fi film's cast and becomes obsessed with the myth of the leatherman, a diamond gloved father who pursues his lost daughter and kills everyone who crosses his path. Alongside Elle's story is Private K, played by Chalres Melton, who also lost his daughter and battles Yakuza during his search for her. The pair each drift their way through the mist-covered city to obtain what they desire.
