Charlie and Gil, a pair of tormented and tortured writers in Hollywood, 1948 each deal with the fallout from the death of an actress, caught up in the ensuing cover-up by a ruthless mogul and his security chief. Charlie wants to laet it all go, but can't. Gil knows he should let it all go, but wants to to kick the hornet's nest. Mysteries and secrets from the past raise their ugly heads, and violence, corruption and sleaze are never far from the glitzy movie surface. Dark and twisted and passionate, this is classic noir brilliantly updated.
