1927. Hollywood studio fixer Mary Rourke is called to the home of silent movie actress Norma Carlton star of The Devil's Playground. Finding Carlton dead Rourke wonders if the rumours that The Devil's Playground really is a cursed production are true. But nothing in Hollywood is ever what it seems and cynical fixer Rourke finds herself seeking out the truth she is used to covering up. 1967. Paul Conway film historian and silent movie aficionado is following a tantalising rumour: that a single copy of The Devil's Playground - a Holy Grail for film buffs supposedly cursed and lost to time - may exist. His search takes him to an isolated desert hotel that hasn't changed in 40 years harbouring one occupant - and a shocking secret. Separated by decades both Rourke and Conway begin to suspect that the real Devil's Playground is Hollywood itself.
