Charles Castle is a successful Hollywood actor who has opted for screen success over art. He must make critical decisions regarding his career, his marriage, his art and morality. Castle is pressured by his studio boss, and manipulated into a potentially murderous cover-up to protect his career. An indictment of the amoral world of Hollywood and its corrosive effect upon the artist.
