A plea for help from a mysterious client plunges Private Eye Joe Copp into the dark shadows of legitimate theatre. The playbill includes multiple murders, kinky sex, illicit drugs, organized crime figures and corrupt politicians, and Copp, in a desperate struggle for survival, scrambles to fit the pieces together before the last bloody act. When ex-cop Joe Copp takes a job as the personal bodyguard of an actor, he is sucked into a quagmire of kidnapping, government agents, Mafia hit-men, sex, drugs, and murder.
