Johnny Jorgenson came to Hollywood with a handsome face, a clean shirt, and the usual foolproof plan: become a movie star before the rent came due.
But when the phone stops ringing and the landlord starts knocking, Johnny takes a quick modeling job that promises easy money and no questions.
Naturally, there are questions. There are cameras, too. Hidden ones. And before Johnny can say
Central Casting, he's neck-deep in a racket where starlets, syndicate men, fading screen queens, call girls, crooked photographers, and very nervous
actors all smile for the lens - whether they know it or not.
From Muscle Beach to Malibu, from smokey
Hollywood parties to private screening rooms, Johnny discovers that fame has a back door with a steep admission price, and it opens into a room full of blackmail, booze, bad decisions, and people who know exactly how much a secret is worth.
They called him Pretty Boy. They should have called him Exhibit A.
A lost slice of Hollywood vice pulp, Stag Model is a fast, nasty, funny-in-all-the-wrong-places noir about ambition, sex, scandal, and the terrible things that happen when a beautiful man finally gets noticed by the wrong people.
