The question isn't whether Paco is willing to go the distance; it's just how far he'll push the boundaries-because, as it turns out, there are no limits in Hollywood.

As these showbiz mavericks set the stage for a revenge-fueled showdown against Stephanie and the ruthless entertainment industry, they inadvertently unearth a revelation with the potential for seismic reverberations throughout Hollywood.
