Everyone's dying to make it in Hollywood...
Especially Davis Lowe. Unfortunately, he keeps finding only second unit work, taking the jobs the real directors can't--or won't do. Together with cameraman Jared Man and film editor Terrance "Otter" Ottman, he runs a tiny independent studio off (
waaay
off) the Sunset Strip, where he scrounges for crumbs left by the big studios and puts off marrying the lovely aspiring actress Susan Campbell.
Enter Torsten Gross: enigmatic German director whose violent horror movies seem a little too real for Davis and his crew. After signing on to work with the filmmaker and his brutal leading man, the boys are faced with a rash of actress suicides in the midst of a movie shoot stranger than anything Hollywood could dream up.
Soon Davis will race to save those he cares about from the clutches of a man who will stop at nothing to finish production, as he unravels a mystery that will have him doubting the art of filmmaking...and reality itself.
