Synopsis: Something is rotten in the state of California. In wake of his father's death, the aimless, melancholy Jack (Penner - LAST SUPPER) reluctantly dons the crown and ill-fitting robes of the family... Something is rotten in the state of California. In wake of his father's death, the aimless, melancholy Jack (Penner - LAST SUPPER) reluctantly dons the crown and ill-fitting robes of the family empire--a sleazy but profitable Los Angeles adult entertainment franchise. However, Jack suspects that his greedy uncle (Sheridan - CRADLE WILL ROCK) and mother (Bisset - DANGEROUS BEAUTY) are behind his father's untimely demise--a suspicion heightened by their announcement to wed immediately after his father is laid to rest. Jack's quest to unravel the truth places him in mortal danger and on the brink of self-destruction in this action-packed, neo-noir reinterpretation of HAMLET. [More]

Suffers from an emotional detachment from any of the characters.
