Actress Megan Fox returned to New York City for the production of the fantasy film "Above the Shadows", which follows a young woman called Holly played by Olivia Thirlby, who has faded from the world to the point of becoming invisible. After more than a decade existing in the shadows, Holly meets the one man who can see her, Shayne Blackwell played by Alan Ritchson, a disgraced MMA fighter. Holly then discovers that it was one of her tabloid photographs that caused his downfall, and that she must restore him to his former glory if she wants to regain a foothold in the world around her. With Shayne, Holly awakens to love but also to the possibility that she may remain invisible forever.
