When his Hollywood producer disappears, leaving the actors and crew on the Portuguese set of a sci-fi thriller with no money or film, director Friedrich Munro (Patrick Bauchau) travels to Hollywood to find him. What he uncovers is a shady world where criminals and moguls barely differ, and the art of filmmaking is merely another money-making enterprise. (official distributor synopsis)
