Half of Nothing

<p>In the 1970's Sam Stratton was considered an up-and-coming actor an actor's-actor a promising young talent until a nasty contract dispute knee-capped his career. Now he has a chance maybe his last chance to revive his stalled defunct movie career. All he needs to do is land a juicy role in a new project which has Tinseltown buzzing like a nest of mad hornets; adjectives like Oscar-worthy and groundbreaking being tossed around to describe it.</p><p>  In a town without rules Sam is sick and tired of playing by the rules. This time he likes his chances and has an inside track an ace in-the-hole in the form of an old friend who just happens to be a high-profile Hollywood producer; talent and marketability won't be the sole criteria. However after a cascading avalanche of chaotic events deep-six his plans he suddenly finds himself in a new role---a fugitive on the run from a notorious crime boss. It's a romp stretching from the Caribbean to Las Vegas to Balmy Springs a small town on the Florida panhandle a place before Hollywood; a place he once called home. While hiding-out he reconnects with his past and discovers first-hand that truth really is stranger than fiction and life is one long movie with lots of bad acting no script no dress rehearsals no stuntmen and contrary to that famous adage Sam finds that he can go home again . . . He just hopes nobody recognizes him.</p>
