When Lanie Jacobs (Juliette Lewis) ditches Miami for Los Angeles, she meets Roy Radin (Rainn Wilson), a washed-up theater producer with big dreams - and even bigger demons. Together, they team up for a shot at greatness: a stake in The Cotton Club, a star-studded film produced by Robert Evans (Christian Slater), the (in)famous Hollywood legend behind The Godfather and Chinatown.
