Stars in your Eyes
The lure of the lights and the riches and fame that Hollywood can bring to a young man with looks and talent is a well known story, but in this version all the "good parts" are not left on the cutting room floor. The hot and heavy sex that our Hollywood hopeful finds as he makes the rounds of casting calls and agents is it's own reward. Instead of great fame, this fair-haired cowboy finds himself on a road of discovery, sexual encounters of all kinds and finally a satisfaction that not even Hollywood can bring.
