In Hollywood, nobody talks. But everybody whispers.

Welcome to Mae Pruetts LA. A black-bag publicist at one of Hollywoods most powerful crisis PR firms, Maes job isnt to get good news out, its to keep the bad news in and contain the scandals. But just as she starts to question her job and life choices, her boss is gunned down in front of the Beverly Hills Hotel, and everything changes.

Investigating with the help of an ex-boyfriend, Mae dives headlong into a neon joyride through the jungle of contemporary Hollywood. Pitted against the twisted system shes worked so hard to perpetuate, shes desperately fighting for redemption, and her life.
