Synopsis/Details
Genre: Erotic Mystery Suspense Thriller
In show business, the most dangerous secrets are often hidden in plain sight.
Detective Horatio is a burned-out NYC detective with nothing left to lose. Emma DiMasco is a playwright with everything to prove. Both live in the shadows of their own dysfunction, and in a city built on broken dreams.
When Hollywood's golden boy, Logan Stacy, is found dead in his swanky NYC pad after a sex party, Horatio is assigned the case to his dismay—and Emma, Logan’s step sister, is pulled in as a suspect after the discovery of a photo with a red "X" across her face changes everything.
Now, in a glittering world of fame and lies, they must find the killer and confront the powerful forces pulling the strings.
What begins as a procedural morphs into a psychological descent into the festering underbelly of the film business.The deeper they go, the more they must face their own demons and decide whether to break the cycle of silence and facades—or be broken by it.
