The Baptism of a Moth

By L. Eldridge

Actor Luke O'Reilly leaves his native England behind-along with his legendary exploits-and retreats to Hollywood to perform in his first American feature film. He meets his match in American actor Jackson Charles, and the two quickly become friends through their verbal sparring and one-upmanship.

But even with the benefit of his newfound friendship, Luke is unable to flee from his needs for redemption and salvation. Then suddenly, an unexpected run-in with a troubled girl named Lena pushes him out of his usual state of indifference. His relationship with Lena gradually enables him to confront and overcome his demons, and, with Lena's help, Luke takes the necessary steps to mend the deep rift with his daughter.

The past haunts Lena as well, but she doesn't have the courage to contend with the puzzling secrets buried in her mind. She believes Luke is her guardian angel, so she entangles him in her misfortunes. Will he escape from Lena's bizarre stranglehold or will he follow her into the dark recesses of her mind? Unfortunately for Luke, the price of redemption can be exorbitant.
