Rex, Moss, Gary and June live in a shabby old apartment building called Starlite Terrace in Los Angeles. The four characters tell their personal stories, shaped by the past and memories of old Hollywood. June’s husband cheated on her with Marylin Monroe, Rex's father worked as Gary Cooper’s double, while Moss is still waiting for his daughter who disappeared 40 years ago.
