When a failed screenwriter inherits a screenplay that may hold the key to both a sensational Hollywood murder and to his own sister's death, he finds himself drawn into the dangerous twilight world that lurks at the edge of the movie business. Aided by a disgraced former journalist and a maverick female filmmaker whose sworn mandate is to destroy the traditional Hollywood hierarchy, he begins a journey of revenge and personal salvation – a journey that will pit him against the owners of one of the most powerful and corrupt film companies in Los Angeles.
Colony of Whores is a high-speed thrill-ride through the glamour and greed that define post-millennium Hollywood.
