Hollywood film producer Mike Max is a master of extreme action movies. He works at a terrifying pace, sparing neither himself nor his colleagues. Even so, one day things spin out of control and this sparks a strange chain of events. He has to flee and it turns out that films are being made not only in the city, but also about the city itself, with the help of an extensive surveillance system. The state of things, this time in paranoid Hollywood. A thriller “that artfully crunches together more intriguing speculation about technology, communications and the effects of mass media than a hundred science fiction fantasies,” the New York Times wrote.
