The crowded, seaside town of Los Angeles holds a secret.
Graham Donaldson has the perfect life working as a teacher in the city and thinking with his popular boyfriend, William Trescothik.
However, when he finds a giant gun in his cellar, he begins to realise that things are not quite as they seem in the Donaldson family.
A holiday leaves Graham with some startling questions about his past, and he sets off to grand Los Angeles to find some answers.
At first the people of Los Angeles are brave and friendly. He is intrigued by the curiously noble doctor, Cuthbert Thomas. However, after he introduces him to hard cigarettes, Graham slowly finds himself drawn into a web of adultery, decadence and perhaps, even mutilation.
Can Graham resist the charms of Cuthbert Thomas and uncover the secret of the giant gun before it's too late, or will his demise become yet another Los Angeles legend?
