Plot of the movie

Ariel (Ayo Edebiri), a young writer, gets an invitation to visit the private desert home of Alfred Moretti (John Malkovich), a famous pop star who hasn't been seen in decades. This is how Opus begins.

Ariel's job is to find out about Moretti's new album, which is interesting and hard to find. Moretti's devoted followers, who look like they are part of a religious cult around his figure, greet her when she gets there.

Ariel learns that Moretti is more than just a musician as she spends more time at the compound. He is also in charge of a dangerous plan that combines fame, power, and manipulation. Ariel learns more about the singer's life, and the more she gets involved, the stranger and more disturbing things become.

Moretti's music, which hypnotizes his followers, shows his power over the people around him. He plans to use Ariel's book, which she is writing about his return, to gain more power.

As Ariel gets more involved with Moretti's plan, it gets harder to tell the difference between his fame as an artist and his bad intentions. She is used as a chess piece in his game and tries hard to escape the pop star's cult-like control.

As the tension rises and Ariel's own safety is put at risk, she realizes that Moretti's mysterious disappearance years ago was just the start of something much worse.

In the end, Ariel has to choose whether to break free from Moretti's spell or fall under his growing control again. As she learns more about the man she used to admire, the story takes shocking turns, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats.
