In the 50s Lanny Morris and Vince Collins were the most beloved entertainers in America, a classic duo - Lanny is the manic comedian, while Vince is his cool and collected straight man. They are at the top of their game, wealthy, powerful, and enormously popular when, inexplicably, a dead beauty turns up in their hotel suite. Lanny and Vince manage to salvage separate careers, but years pass with neither speaking to the other, or to anyone else, about the girl's death.
