Requiem for a broken dream
Book Description
When dreams collide with harsh reality, the true test of character begins. Nick Conte abandons his quiet hometown of Sweetwater Springs, chasing the golden promise of Hollywood success as a screenwriter. What he discovers instead is a world of tourist traps, minimum-wage survival, and countless others nursing broken aspirations.
Balancing coffee shop shifts with late-night writing sessions, Nick finds an unexpected anchor when Dean Winship, an aspiring actor, enters his world. Their bond deepens as both men navigate the treacherous waters of entertainment industry ambitions, yet Dean remains mysteriously guarded about his personal struggles, insisting his circumstances are far too complex for romance.
Everything shifts when veteran actor Stone Carter presents Nick with an opportunity that could transform his career. The offer carries strange stipulations that should raise red flags, but the allure of finally achieving his long-held dreams proves irresistible. As Nick weighs his options, he faces a crossroads that will test not only his professional judgment but his very survival.
This tale weaves together themes of faith, identity, and the supernatural forces that can emerge when desperation meets opportunity. Set against Hollywood's glittering facade, it explores how far someone will venture into darkness to reach the light of their dreams, and whether some prices are simply too high to pay.
