Fifteen years after winning an Oscar for Best Actress, Anna Mayhew finds herself struggling with bland supporting roles and dark thoughts of self-destruction as she nears forty. Her life takes a dangerous turn when she discovers a stalker, Vincent, a deranged fan whose twisted love involves violence. To protect her, Anna's sister Pam hires David Spandau, an ex-stuntman and private investigator. Initially resistant to help, Anna soon realizes she needs Spandau’s protection, especially as they head to the Cannes Film Festival, where she is set to judge. As Spandau develops feelings for Anna, he faces the challenge of keeping her alive while she grapples with her own desire for death. The situation escalates when Vincent follows Anna to Cannes, intent on a bloody reunion, while Special, an opera-loving pimp, is on Vincent's trail to reclaim stolen mob money. This sets off a thrilling cat-and-mouse game that begins in Hollywood and reaches a fever pitch at Cannes. With a gripping final act, the narrative showcases the author’s sharp insights into the entertainment industry, delivering a twisted and darkly humorous thrill ride that captivates both longtime fans and newcomers.
