In the heart of Las Vegas, the buzz of Hollywood invades a small desert town as Unified Stars Studios rolls into Clark County to film their latest talkie, a high-profile adaptation of the bestselling novel Sons of the Texas Star. The book's success, reminiscent of Owen Wister's Virginian, sets the stage for a blockbuster, starring cowboy superstar Matt McCoy and his twin brother Mark. The film's dramatic tale of twin brothers battling over a family ranch is poised to captivate audiences nationwide.

But what begins as an exciting production soon turns into a nightmare. During the filming of the climactic scene, where the brothers are meant to shoot it out, a fatal twist occurs. A live round is slipped into Mark McCoy's revolver instead of a blank, and Matt is found dead in the grand foyer of a luxurious hacienda.

Sheriff Conor Armenta must navigate the glamorous yet shadowy world of Hollywood's burgeoning film industry to uncover the truth behind Matt McCoy's murder. As he delves deeper into the glamorous facade, the truth behind who really killed Matt-and why-is far more sinister than any cinema illusion.
