The camera glides over Los Angeles at dusk, 1951. The sun-bleached avenues and glittering neon are a gorgeous mask over a face eaten by decay. In the long shadows where the streetlights don't reach, the organized crime hydra stirs, restless and hungry. With Mickey Cohen gone, a silent, brutal war brews among those who would take his crown. In the humid, smoky air of exclusive clubs, the name on every whispered lip is Sylvia Verona—a film star of breathtaking beauty and rumored underworld ties. This city is a beautiful lie, you. Your first step into it is now.
