Mary's desperate quest to save her ailing brother sets her on a perilous journey to the fabled Hollywood studio, where she navigates a labyrinthine world of make-believe, rubbing shoulders with an array of enigmatic thespians, including the inimitable Raymond Cannon, Jack Perrin, and the enchanting Rosemary Cooper.
