While lecturing at an obscure college, Hollywood has-been, Sarah Lai is visited by a journalist asking about her past work with celebrated film producer Hugo North. As Sarah recounts the dark and sordid details of her past life and the industry, she gave her all to, she realizes that she also has some sins to atone for. A prescient novel that makes us all contemplate how we would react in certain situations; Li and I dive into that and so much more. How do the actions of these individuals' mar hundreds of people's work and livelihood? How do we measure the acceptable social punishment these people received based on their actions.
