Life as a waiter, struggling paycheck-to-paycheck, doesn't leave much room for excitement. Artist Finn Phelps finds his in Hot Blood, a prime time cop drama, and the actor who stars in it, Ethan Teller: beautiful, talented, and shrouded in mystery.
Then, like something out of a dream, an act of kindness results in Ethan falling right into his lap, and Finn can barely believe his luck. More than that, Finn manages to land a gig on the set of Hot Blood itself as the head makeup artist's assistant. Between his new job and his new friendship with his idol, Finn's fantasies are starting to become reality. But as he comes to know the real Ethan, the layers peel away, and what is left beneath the surface is nothing how Finn imagined it.
