Dead Cat With Firelighter

Set amid the extreme worlds of modern art and famous lives, this black comedy takes a wry look at the making and breaking of icons. Inhabiting both landscapes are the sinister Vaughan Darke, classical aesthete and hit-man, and his modernist counterpart, Hayden Curtis. These men can raise or dash hopes for people such as the enfant terrible of contemporism, Justin Peters, and the beautiful starlet, Chloe Collins. How can an artist of no talent be raised to cult status, and an also-ran actress achieve immortality? And why is Chloe's husband only one of the people trying to kill her?
