Baseado no livro "Alfred Hitchcock And The Making Of Psycho", este filme revela os bastidores do clássico Psicose (1960). Na época, mesmo estando no auge de sua carreira, Hitchcock não conseguiu apoio para realizar a obra, porque os estúdios não queriam investir em um pequeno filme de terror. O resultado foi uma produção independente, que encontrou dificuldades para driblar a censura e para ser distribuída nos EUA, em função das cenas de violência e nudez. Além disso, durante as filmagens, ocorreram brigas entre Hitchcock e sua esposa, Alma (Helen Mirren), os problemas de saúde do diretor e desentendimentos com o elenco. Mas contrariando todas as expectativas, "Psicose" se tornou uma referência no cinema mundial e um dos maiores sucessos na carreira do cineasta.
