The Hollywood Guy

THE HOLLYWOOD GUY On the downslide of a successful film career, Pete Stevens has been rocked by a painful divorce, is losing money playing poker and being sucked dry by cosmetically enhanced bimbos who think he still has Industry clout. Only his adolescent obsessions with sex and baseball remain intact. In a city where delusional is the norm, who will understand his feelings of irrelevance? Hoping to recapture his past self, Pete splits for New York. His picaresque journey takes him back to a magic place where everything is the same only different. Can a roller coaster ride of unsettling excess lead to change?
