Crazy like a fox

Bradford Lawshé, President of Hollywood's Esseness Studios

... wanders the lot every day before dawn. He usually lingers on the catwalk above the Mabel Normand Theatre to have a "chat" with the ghost of 1920's movie mogul, Jacob Osterburg.


Is he delusional?

Lawshé knows in that Osterberg's ghost most likely is not the one giving him advice on his next picture..

He knows it's really the logical side of his brain trying convince himself that the astronomical budget isn't really that much money. But Osterberg's "advice" always has been spot on, so why fight great advice?

Today is different, however...

...Bradford takes a detour on his way to the catwalk and a gunshot changes the future of Esseness.

Meet the cast of characters who join forces to solve the mystery...
