"When Freddie Sharpe starts to sing a million teenagers get sent the facts of life. Special delivery..."
Ex-cop turned PI Vince Slader is hired to protect Freddie Sharpe, an obscenely rich, obscenely arrogant, obscenely talented, and obscenely obscene big name singer... who moves through the sin-filled mansions, back alleys, bars, clubs and studios of Tinseltown with an entourage of hangers-on and sycophants, any one of whom could be homicidally jealous of their not-so-benevolent benefactor.
