The story of an orphan sent to live with her drug addicted, former movie star aunt at a legendary hotel filled with depravity. It is a story recounting the Hollywood milieu circa late 1950s, a time of wanna be starlets, producers with huge egos and demands of sexual favors, teen girls and women seeking fame and fortune at any cost.
Aria Jones is thrust into the hotel turpitude when her parents tragically die. Her aunt is barely cognizant due to her drug and alcohol use and she is dismissive of Aria. Aria becomes friends with two older girls both seeking fame. Along the way, Aria grows to be a silent witness to the excess at the hotel.
Told in two times, 1950s Aria is a teen and 1960s Aria is turning 21 and prepared to leave the hotel. The effects of her experiences channel her sadness and fears as she ages.
A tale of Hollywood at its worst and of a young girl who sees it all.
