In the 50's, Lanny Morris and Vince
Collins are the most beloved entertainers in America.
A classic duo Lanny is the manic comedian, while
Vince is his cool and collected straight man the
boys know how to make audiences roar with laughter
at their jokes, or shed tears at one of their famous
telethons. They are at the top of their game, wealthy,
powerful, and enormously popular, when something
terrible happens to threaten their success. Inexplicably,
a dead beauty turns up in their hotel suite. Their
reputations are sullied but, thanks to rock-solid
alibis, neither is charged with the crime. Their
partnership, on the other hand, is destroyed.
Lanny and Vince manage to salvage separate careers,
but years pass, with neither speaking to the other,
or to anyone else, about the girl's death. The reason
for the break-up of Morris and Collins becomes one
of show business' greatest mysteries. Fifteen years
later, in the 1970's, up and coming writer Karen
O'Connor, decides to turn this cold case into a
hot story. This includes the discovery of a kinky
ménage a trois that may have led to a murder,
Karen unravels a serpentine, shocking tale of talent
and treachery, love and lust, buried secrets and
betrayed trust. |
