  • Summary

  • When cocaine queen-pin Lanie Jacobs ditches Miami for Los Angeles, she meets Roy Radin - a washed-up theater producer with big dreams (and even bigger demons). Together, they team up for a shot at greatness: A stake in The Cotton Club, a star-studded film produced by Robert Evans, the (in)famous Hollywood legend behind The Godfather and Chinatown. But as egos, ambitions, and suspicions collide, it isn’t long before the deal turns deadly.

    Based on the shocking true story, Audible’s eight-part original drama series stars Academy Award- and Emmy-nominated actress Juliette Lewis (Natural Born Killers, Hysterical Blindness, The Act); Emmy-nominated actor Rainn Wilson (Six Feet Under, The Office); and Golden Globe Award-winning actor Christian Slater (Heathers, True Romance, Mr. Robot).

Very vivid!

Knowing the faces of the 3 main characters made it extremely easy to picture the environments, faces, and situations that had come up in the story and it was only made better by the supporting cast having that same enthusiasm. Great for people that love true crime and readers theatre alike!
