1954 Hollywood, California. Some rise to the heights of stardom. Some sink into the swamp of obscurity. But they all end up in Slumberland. Matthew Brooks is just a Tinsel Town nobody trying to keep a roof over his head and a loaded flask in his pocket. When his estranged sister dies, leaving nothing behind but a locked handbag and the address of a horrific crime scene, Brooks finds himself caught in a Hitchcockian plot built on obsession and murder. Matthew's spellbinding odyssey twists through the backlot of a major movie studio, the dark, dangerous streets of Los Angeles, and a notorious boneyard called Slumberland. A savvy detective and a group of daring women become entangled in the nightmare as they try to clear Matthew's name. Meanwhile, Brooks fights to stay one step ahead of brutal cops, an enthusiastic lynch mob, and a psychopath.
