Synopsis

When Timothee leaves his home in France to attend law school in America, he believes he is doing what he has always been destined to do. His parents died when he was very young, and a note from his father is Timothee’s only connection to him. The letter compels Timothee to pursue law, even though it means giving up his filmmaking dreams. Not long after he gets to California, a mysterious envelope containing a strange script arrives on his doorstep, setting Timothee on a path he never imagined in his wildest dreams.Inspired by Old Hollywood, this intriguing noir novel set in 1960s Los Angeles is the perfect escape. It tells the tale of ambition, misplaced promises, hope, and the very real potential that the impossible might just be possible. All the while, unexpected friendships will be forged and rekindled, important questions will be answered, movie stars will be met, secrets will be uncovered and new ones will appear. Most important, though, is the question of where that script is coming from and whether Timothee will eventually find what he has spent his whole life looking for.
