Synopsis

Jonathan Gates loves going to the Classic, a legendary little art house cinema in west L.A. There he succumbs to what will be a lifelong obsession with the mysterious Max Castle, a nearly forgotten genius of the silent screen and film noir director who vanished in the 1940s, at the height of his powers. 20 years later, Gates seeks the truth behind Castle's disappearance - and finds himself on a journey deep into Hollywood's own heart of darkness, where nothing on the silver screen is quite what it appears.
