crime, celebrity & corruption in 1950s los angeles
It's 1955: Hollywoodland is flourishing with a whirlwind of rising starlets, brooding leading men and new movies being produced almost every month. There's nothing quite like this new age of motion pictures and it shows in the bright lights of downtown Los Angeles, in every store window, in every magazine. Some say the city has never been quite so alive.
And yet, the veil of glamour cast over the city isn't enough to protect it from the sinister things that already lurk beneath. Between dirty cops and the rising popularity of organised crime, it seems that lawlessness comes hand in hand with the allure of Hollywoodland; crime families are pulling strings, studio executives are making deals and the faces of the silver screen are doing everything they can to make it big.
All senses of loyalty and morality are skewed; there's no rationality anymore, it's all about survival. Where will you fit in this rapidly changing world, with an industry that's both growing stronger and fraying at the seams?
