Hollywood Ending: A Story of Celebrity, Sex, Blackmail, Betrayal & Bad Plastic Surgery

A slick and twisted tale ... pulpy, action-packed and darkly funny, Hollywood Ending is equal parts slapstick and satire, crime caper and modern Hollywood noir.

Has-been actor Preston Emory would give anything to be freed from his abusive marriage to his much-older, much more famous movie star wife, Peri Conrad. Or, so he thinks, until Peri is bludgeoned with her own Oscar in their Hollywood Hills home, and everyone thinks he had something to do with it ― police, the tabloids, Twitter. Only Preston's closest friends know for sure he's innocent, because they set up the hit, and now they're blackmailing Preston for a piece of his inheritance.

Preston's life unravels in the spotlight as he scrambles to duck the paparazzi, deflect police, and flip the script on his blackmailing friends, all while falling in love with a dangerous woman.

Set in a post-shame world of celebrity sex tapes and insatiable egos, Hollywood Ending also offers softer, sweeter moments of love and longing and hurt. We're constantly hitting new lows, but there are first kisses, too, so it can't be all bad.
