Four baby moguls and how they grew -- David, Stan, Barry and Mickey; this is their story, a dazzling high-tension novel about Hollywood today that follows the careers of four young men who climb to the top of a treacherous, glittering industry.

It was a strange fate that brought them together in Hemisphere Studio's mail room; they weren't at all alike, but they all craved the same thing -- success and stardom.

David' father walked out when he was seven.  But David was glad, for he had his mother all to himself -- until he lost her again because of another man.  A fury grew in David, and he unleashed it on Hollywood and became one of the most powerful studio heads in the industry.

Stan got polio when he was a kid and his widowed father nursed him back to health.  Stan learned everything about TV the year he stayed in bed, everything he needed to know to become the hottest rock promoter in Hollywood.  But Stan never did learn about women, the hot, sexy kind with frozen hearts.

Barry, the fair-haired boy from Brooklyn, was an only child.  He was his mother's "little jewel" until she learned that Barry liked boys better than girls.  Then she never wanted to see him again, not even after he became a celebrated agent and lover of a famous song-and-dance beauty.

Mickey was the black sheep, his brother the genius.  But Mickey grew up to be one of the nation's best-loved TV stars.  Mickey always knew that pot of gold was waiting for him, and he never counted the cost.

Iris Rainer is a screenwriter who knows her Hollywood inside and out.  She's written a brilliant first novel, laying bare the danger and dazzle, the hopes and spoiled dreams of those who search for success in a world that makes or breaks the stars.
