Like all would-be Hollywood screenwriters, David Armitage wants\nto be rich and famous. But for the past eleven years, he’s tasted\nnothing but failure. Then, out of nowhere, luck comes his way when\none of his scripts is bought for television. Suddenly, he’s the new\ntoast of Hollywood as the creator of a hit series.

A new player in Tinsel Town, David reinvents himself at great\nspeed — notably and especially by walking out on his wife and\ndaughter for a young producer who worships only at the altar of\nambition. But David’s upward mobility takes a decidedly strange\nturn when a billionaire film buff named Philip Fleck barges into\nhis life, proposing a very curious collaboration. David takes the\nbait, and finds he has inadvertently entered a Faustian Pact, one\nthat results in an express ride to the lower depths of the\nHollywood jungle.
