Hollywood, 1997. When Charity Trickett moves to LA to assist the director of the biggest blockbuster film of the year, she quickly realizes that Hollywood isn’t all red carpets and Rodeo Drive. But her determination to become a screenwriter and producer in this glamorous yet cutthroat industry cannot be deterred. Eventually, she impresses the top brass at Canopy Studios and inches herself closer to her dream. But her ambitions and honest heart are threatened by backstabbing coworkers, an evaporating bank account, love gone wrong, a mistake that could cost the studio hundreds of millions of dollars, and an FBI investigation that could land her in jail.

Surrounded by fame and money but unsure how to access either one, Charity’s resolve steers her toward devoted friends and hopeful artists for help. If she can manage to stay out of trouble (or jail), maybe she can change this growing nightmare into a dream come true.
