About Hollywood and Velvet
After returning home from the Army, Christian Meier finds the transition to civilian life challenging. Without notice, he withdraws from his college courses and leaves his family and long-time girlfriend back in Cincinnati to pursue his childhood dream of becoming an actor. After only a month in Los Angeles, he lands a role in a popular series which is canceled soon after. He lands a handful of commercials and low-budget projects but as his finances begin to suffer, he accepts the harsh reality of the entertainment industry and accepts a job as a personal assistant to a middle-aged, Machiavellian actress named Velvet Duval. Hoping the job will be a short-term steppingstone, he gradually becomes consumed by her and her scheme to revive her career.
