β°ββ π΄π πππππ... a young French performer, Francis Bonnefoy, meets a charming British journalist, Arthur Kirkland, in the 1960s. Though they both fall in love through an interview, they don't know that they play for the opposite team.
Arthur is secretly investigating a major scandal involving the entertainment underworld and corrupt politicians: several rising stars have been coerced or blackmailed into providing "entertainment" and favors for powerful men of status and wealthy industrialists. There are rumors of drugs, sex, and at least one suspicious death covered up as an "accident."
Francis is deeply entangled in this world. Not as a helpless victim, but as a willing participant who made calculated choices to escape poverty. He slept with the right men, looked the other way, and even helped recruit or silence others when it protected his career. His entire glittering life is built on these compromises. He tells himself it's just how the game works.
So what will happen when one is trying to dig up what the other desperately needs to keep hidden?
