In 1940s Hollywood, top screenwriter Ward Cardova (Lev Gorn) is unable to have a child with his aging actress wife, Eileen (Kristen Vermilyea), so they concoct a scheme to audition young loner Lee Stagger (Gabe Fazio) for a bogus film so Eileen can seduce him and become a mother. But this clever plan takes an unexpected turn when Stagger reveals his own nefarious agenda in this low-budget indie noir.
