Second Unit

Everyone's dying to make it in Hollywood... Especially Davis Lowe. Unfortunately, he keeps finding only second unit work, taking the jobs the real directors can't--or won't do. Together with cameraman Jared Man and film editor Terrance "Otter" Ottman, he runs a tiny independent studio off (waaay off) the Sunset Strip, where he scrounges for crumbs left by the big studios and puts off marrying the lovely aspiring actress Susan Campbell. Enter Torsten Gross: enigmatic German director whose violent horror movies seem a little too real for Davis and his crew. After signing on to work with the filmmaker and his brutal leading man, the boys are faced with a rash of actress suicides in the midst of a movie shoot stranger than anything Hollywood could dream up. Soon Davis will race to save those he cares about from the clutches of a man who will stop at nothing to finish production, as he unravels a mystery that will have him doubting the art of filmmaking...and reality itself.
