      In Hollywood gaat het niet alleen om wie je kent, maar vooral om wat je weet. Connecties zijn belangrijk, maar alleen kennis is macht. Een callgirl die uit het vak wil stappen, een meedogenloze filmagent die door hebzucht wordt gedreven en een journaliste die de primeur van haar leven ruikt: allen zijn spelers op het glamoureuze toneel van Hollywood. Stuk voor stuk hebben ze er alles voor over om de top te bereiken. Wanneer Hollywood wordt opgeschrikt door een aantal gruwelijke moorden, raken ook zij in de ban van het dodelijke spel van de moordenaar die het voorzien lijkt te hebben op callgirls. Hij blijkt echter niet als enige een meester te zijn in het manipuleren...
