In the neon-drenched underbelly of 1940s Los Angeles, Ray "Silk" Voss, a former studio fixer turned private eye, takes on a case that could burn Tinseltown to the ground. A jittery projectionist slips him a film reel—a grainy short spliced with footage of a Majestic Studios exec strangling a nobody in a backlot alley. The client, a washed-up director named Harry Duval, swears it's a fake, but Silk smells a setup. As he digs through dive bars, soundstages, and hilltop mansions, he uncovers a web of blackmail, betrayal, and murder orchestrated by Lester Crowe, a ruthless producer with a chokehold on Majestic's secrets. With crooked cops, hired guns, and a femme fatale named Faye closing in, Silk must navigate a city where truth is a myth and every frame hides a lie. Haunted by his past and the memory of a lost love, he'll risk everything to expose the killer—or become the next victim of The Shadow Reel. This 15-part pulp noir saga delivers gritty action, sharp dialogue, and the dark heart of Hollywood's golden age.
