- Synopsis
- Chase Abbott is down and out — literally — he’s gone from being on the town’s hot-list of successful, young Hollywood talent, to signing books in the back of a dilapidated bookstore in the valley. To top it all off, the only girl he’s ever truly loved just left him due to a lack of future potential. A mere fall from grace would be putting it mildly. His life is literally falling apart around him as he falls deeper into addiction, and it gets darker everyday. When Chase is at the breaking-point, he meets a free-spirited young actress named Astrid when he helps her out of a difficult situation at a casting studio. To thank him, she invites him to a party, kicking off a magical, all-night adventure through Los Angeles that shows him he has something more worth living for.
