From the New York Times bestselling author of Leaving the World
comes the brilliant, breathtaking story about a Hollywood
screenwriter whose "overnight success" brings about his biggest
downfall.
Like all screenwriters in Tinsel Town, David Armitage wants to
be rich and famous. Finally, after eleven years of disappointment
and failure, big-time luck comes his way when one of his scripts is
bought for television, making him the new toast of Hollywood as the
creator of a smash hit series.
Suddenly a major power player, Armitage begins to reinvent
himself at breakneck speed, quitting his day job, trading in his
Reagan-era Volvo for a Porsche, and leaving his wife and daughter
for a sleek, young producer.
Enter multibillionaire film buff Philip Fleck, who proposes an
unsavory collaboration to the screenwriter. Armitage takes the bait
and suddenly finds himself entering a decidedly Faustian pact--and
unknowingly hopping an express ride to the lower depths of the
Hollywood jungle.
