Hollywood 1965. A child hides in a dressing room closet and looks on as Dad murders Mom and celebrates with his mistress….Twenty-five years later, famous movie director Mark Bauer is casting Long Journey Home, his new war film, and unwittingly sets in motion a chain of events that stir up the truth about what happened that terrible night—with devastating consequences. Sooner or later the past catches up with you—even in Hollywood.

p>Caught up in the whirlwind of casting for the movie Long Journey Home are two famous stars who are vying for star roles: Diana Holloway, who wants this as a chance to get the Oscar she lost out on 20 years earlier and Graham Denning, a rising young star who happens to be in love with Diana’s daughter, Kelly Holloway.

Behind the scenes like a master puppeteer pulling strings is the film’s money man, Mafia kingpin Paul Fontana, who pushes for the lead role to go to his spoiled daughter, daytime soap star Gabrielle Fontana Moore. He also wants a safe place to hide his wayward son Peter, an embarrassment to him who struggles with his sexual identity.

Dark clouds hang over this troubled movie production from day one. A woman is murdered filming the opening scene. The child who may have seen the murderer goes missing. What has become of the child-witness? Diana Holloway once worked with a rival star, Iris Larson, who drowned in a swimming pool years earlier under suspicious circumstances. Is there a connection between the swimming pool drowning and this death? When will the A-list Hollywood murders end?
