Joseph Wambaugh's hard hitting best-seller rips apart the glittering facade of that magical place called Hollywood to expose the evil and savagery that lie beneath the surface of the 'dream factory'. A major studio boss is brutally murdered: two weary detectives reluctantly accept the case to snare the killer. Their investigations bring them face to face with the grim reality of a crime-ridden city - murder, robbery, drugs, pornography. As the two men set about their task with cynical humour, the destruction and hopelessness start to pervade their own lives.
