Synopsis

Bruce Delamitri makes cool films about killers. Films in which people die to a rock and roll soundtrack. Meanwhile, psychotic, unbalanced Wayne and Scout are actual killers. On Oscar night, as Bruce becomes King of Hollywood, they go on a murderous rampage, and it is not quite to Bruce's liking.

Quatrième de couverture

Bruce shoots movies. Wayne and Scout shoot to kill. In a single night they find out the hard way what's real and what's not, who's the hero and who's the villain. The USA watches slack-jawed as Bruce and Wayne together resolve some serious questions. How is it possible to get shot dead live? Does art imitate life or does life simply imitate bad art? And why, if murder is acceptable on prime-time TV, is the f-word not?
