Veronica and Lucy, two actors at very different stages in their careers, find themselves unwittingly trapped in an audition which takes a dark turn they did not expect. The destructive tendencies of human nature are laid bare when these rivals are pushed to their personal, professional and moral breaking point in their obsessive pursuit for success.

The Match is a contemporary tale of rivalry, envy, and humiliation.
