Description: The patience of private investigator David Spandau, an ex-stuntman familiar with the ins and outs of Hollywood is almost sapped when he's hired to protect actor Bobby Dye from a blackmailing scheme gone wrong. Dye--young, brash, and on the verge of becoming a major star--has been set up by gangster Richie Stella, a nightclub owner and drug dealer with dreams of becoming a Hollywood producer. And he has a movie perfect for Bobby; problem is, it's the worst script anyone's ever read. But Richie is not easy to say no to, and when he retaliates, the game gets a little more deadly for more than a few of its players.
