<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""> Evan Wyler has just finished a photo
shoot. No, he’s not a super model, just a twenty-something New York writer
savoring the success of his debut novel. Defined by the media as the “hot
young” thing-of-the-moment, Evan captures the attention of Alexa Vere de Vere,
a black-clad woman of mystery who’s made the world of celebrity her home. In
fact, it’s her religion. Maybe she’s a record producer, maybe she’s a film
agent; what is clear is that she wants Evan to write the screenplay of her life
story. Spend time with Auntie Name and Sally Bowles… But, Alexa vanishes,
leaving him to foot the bill for all the dinners and Armani suits they’ve gone
through. Trying to find Alexa, Evan discovers a chain of people who have fallen
under her spell and acted as her meal ticket. Alexa puts it: “You’re not the
person you were born-who wonderful is?”</span></p>
