Handlung
Anne, Neely und Jennifer träumen von der großen Hollywood-Karriere. Doch sie teilen schon bald das Schicksal unzähliger Nachwuchssternchen in einer unbarmherzigen Scheinwelt. Neely gelingt der Durchbruch als Sängerin, sie betäubt den Erfolgsdruck jedoch mit Pillen. Auch Anne wird drogenabhängig, nachdem ihr Leben als Fotomodell immer mehr zum Alptraum wird. Jennifer endet als Pornodarstellerin und fasst einen tödlichen Entschluss...
