Tom Mellersch, a budding screenwriter, juggles hijacked scripts in an eccentric city, weaving AI romance, surreal films, and heists.
When Tom Mellersch, a budding screenwriter, takes a working holiday in Toontown, he finds his creative aspirations being batted about by a sleazy producer, his assigned collaborator, an academic director, and his celebrated helpmate. A pair of overbearing actors also hijack the project, eager to have a prequel to their hit, Carlotta's Reprisal. Tom soon finds that his scripting attempts are peopled by the city dwellers around him, as much as his dreams, leading him to improve on his fragments, and create an artistic short, an AI space romance, a silent surrealist film, a jewelry heist caper, and even a Movie of the Week. To shake loose the film industry, Tom flees to the palatial home of a former opera diva, only to fall in with activist malcontents who drag him into one of his own plotlines. Will Tom escape the celluloid city he's created, and does he want to?
