A true tale of ambition, scandal, intrigue, murder, and the creation of the modern film industry. By 1920, the movies had become one of America's largest industries. Yet Hollywood's glittering ascendancy was threatened by a string of tragedies including the murder of William Desmond Taylor, the president of the Motion Picture Directors Association, a legendary crime that has remained unsolved - until now.
