It is the story of Toby Temple, super star and super

bastard, adored by his vast TV and movie public

yet isolated from real human contact by his own

suspicion and distrust.

And the story of Jill Castle. who came to Holly-

wood to be a star and discovered she had to buy

her way with her body.

A lonely man. A disillusioned girl, pursuing

dreams of stardom and carrying a terrible secret.

In a world of predators, they are bound to each

other by a love so ruthless, so strong, it is more

than human---and less.
