Now a Major Motion Picture

What if Hollywood finally called—only to hand you the role of a lifetime victim?

Rodney Mullins is a failed screenwriter with a stack of rejections and few shreds of hope. Then Oscar-winning director Marc Kessler offers him the job of a lifetime: shadow the great man, chronicle his films, and maybe—just maybe—Rodney will see his own script reach the screen.

Once on his roller-coaster ride, Rodney’s confidence grows, but attempts to have a stronger influence on what’s happening around him often result in unintended, awkward and sometimes hilarious consequences.

But working with Kessler is no dream. He is capricious: sometimes brutal and humiliating, sometimes a mate, encouraging—and all is complicated by Gloria, Kessler’s dazzling wife, who Rodney is totally smitten by. Does he really believe he can be a better partner to her than Marc Kessler?

Soon Rodney is caught between ambition, obsession, and betrayal in a world where everyone steals something—ideas, hearts, or lives.

When the credits finally roll, will Rodney discover whether he’s written his own comeback… or his own ruin?
