Love and Confusion at the Screenplay Cafe

In Hollywood, where everyone has a dream, actor/writer/producer/director Bogdan spends his days at the Rising Arc; AKA "the Screenplay Cafe". With more gray hairs than credits to his name, he is surprised to find himself involved with the much younger Luz, who has dreams of her own. As he tells the story of their affair, he introduces the reader to other regulars, such as Burgess the philosopher, Sidney the director, Rusty the former TV writer, and to the young hopefuls behind the counter: the lush and lusty Katy, the hyper-hip Dickie Tweet, the manly but mysterious Danny... He shares a wealth of stories of success and failure from this industry hangout, even as his own romance goes through surprising twists and turns.
