Description: Promised her first screen credit in years by Marathon Studios, script doctor Lauren Atwill is promptly loaned out to second-tier Epic Pictures. And she's not happy. Are Marathon's bosses spooked by the grapevine gossip that bodies fall whenever she signs onto a picture? Her first Epic assignment electrifies her: Bring a scandalous novel to the screen, a story of betrayal, greed, corruption and a brutal killing. Then fiction turns into real life. Lauren finds a murdered girl, and discovers how far the studio and even the police will go to cover up the killing and protect a star. If she won't lie, her career is over. And maybe her life. In Hollywood, telling the truth is the most dangerous thing you can do.
