Description

When aspiring screenwriter Page Cannister submits a script to the most famous screenwriting competition in America, Sunrise, she is left with disappointment and despair when her piece of work is stolen by the creator of the contest, a famous director, Lincoln Mackenzie. While Page’s script, Smoking Rain, is ripped from her hands, she begins an unlikely romance with film journalist, Damon Falls. Through a series of events that unfold, Page is left to discover the truth about Damon and his involvement with the script-stealing scandal, that leaves her with much bitterness and resentment toward him that could leave the two of them divided forever. When Page starts to have psychic visions, she struggles with the hard truths about racism and segregation in the city of Los Angeles. She must draw a conclusion to whether her psychic visions are true messages directly from God or merely a part of her mental illness. Page sets out to do what the world told her that she could never do. This is a story about the dark side of Hollywood, despair, and finding hope in the most tragic of situations.
