Subject(s): Genre/Form: Summary: "Fresh out of prison for an arson conviction, hapless 20-year old Billy Bonney finds himself drifting through the seedy and unsavory world of cut-rate moviemaking, even more out of place amongst his peers than he felt six year earlier when he got busted. Following his brother to the sets of grade B and exploitation 1970s Hollywood looks like the path of least resistance, but when he accidentally lands a job as a handler to a has-been actor, it more than he anticipated as he steps lucklessly into a gangster-driven plot to burn down a studio for the insurance money, and fins himself in over the head."--Page 4 of cover

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Fresh out of prison for an arson conviction, clueless 20-year old Billy Bonney finds himself drifting through the seedy and unsavory world of cut-rate moviemaking, even more out of place amongst his peers than he felt as a teen six years earlier when he got busted. Following his brother to the sets of grade B and exploitation 1970s Hollywood seems like a path of least resistance, until he accidentally lands a job as a handler to a has-been actor. But the bright lights burn harsher and show more than he anticipated as he steps lucklessly into a gangster-driven plot to burn down a studio for the insurance money, and finds himself in over his head. Drunken, washed-up stars. Scrambling, past-their-own-prime producers. Teenage girls on the make, slick hustlers, and violent fixers. Drawn in bold brushstrokes, and hand-painted in subtle washes, Chaffee brings vintage LA to the page in a propulsive adventure.
