Gil Townsend is one of Hollywood's most trusted script doctors — whenever a film is in trouble, he's brought in to bring it back into solid shape, very quickly and for a handsome paycheck. His most recent gig is punching up a high-budget, high-concept thriller at the behest of abusive penny-pinching studio chairman Tom Weinberg, drug-abusing swinging-dick producer Jon Simmonds, egomaniacal method actor Jared Marston, and terminally online replacement director Bretton Russo. But what his friends and peers working within the industry — including his on-again off-again girlfriend (and fellow screenwriter) Ellie Brayer, his high-powered agent Susan Traeger, his editor friend Martha Schulman, and his go-to director (and mentor) Anthony Ripley — are blissfully unaware of is that Gil also works as a different kind of fixer: carrying out illegal and often murderous assignments for the town's most feared kingpins, especially the notorious Jimmy Gallo. But after an assignment gone brutally wrong, Gil finds himself rethinking the double life he's been leading all these years. Slowly but surely, it takes a devastating toll on him physically, psychologically, and professionally, and the complications from trying to keep up the charade ultimately drive him to rage and ruin.
