The film"s page

Charlie Castle, vedette hollywoodienne, était un acteur audacieux et brillant. Mais le contrat de sept ans qu’il a signé avec le producteur Stanley Hoff l’étouffe. Alors qu’il tente de faire machine arrière et de renouer avec son épouse, qui lui reproche d’avoir vendu son âme au diable, Charlie se rend compte qu’il est peut-être trop tard : il est victime de chantage, et Hoff menace de faire exploiter des faits délicats de sa vie privée.
