Summary: A Hollywood has-been, Sarah Lai's dreams of success behind the camera have been put to the wayside. Now a lecturer at an obscure college, the former producer wants nothing more than to forget those youthful ambitions and push aside any feelings of regret or guilt. When a journalist reaches out to her to discuss her own experience working with the celebrated film producer Hugo North, Sarah can no longer keep silent. This is her last chance to tell her side of the story and maybe even exact belated vengeance. Recounting the industry's dark and sordid secrets, Sarah begins to realize that she has a few sins of her own to confess. She ask herself: just who was complicit? -- adapted from jacket
