Robert Brownlow, an experienced actor, knows what backstage Hollywood is like: a century of addicts, suicides, lies, and many other things, all hidden by glitz and glamour. He's fallen victim to it in the past, as have a majority of his peers and friends.  

Erica Samson is a 17-year-old amateur actress. She is entirely new to acting, having only done several commercials. Now she has landed a leading voice role in a new children's animation picture, also starring Robert Brownlow.

Robert likes his new costar, but is put off by the naivety, the innocence, that Erica comes with. In his opinion, someone like her with a new car smell should not be in this career. And so, he does his best to... "help her". He feels it is his duty to introduce her the business in a way his sick mind deems correct: by stripping her of all her childlike qualities and stealing everything that is innocent.

Warning: This story deals with adult and violent themes such as cruelty to animals, drug abuse, and various forms of assault, that some readers may find disturbing.
