As the first of two parallel stories unfolds, struggling Hollywood screenwriter Stine tries to strike it big with his film noir masterpiece. In the second, Stine’s fictional detective Stone hits the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles, trying to crack a case before the case cracks him. With both writer and character influencing each other’s thoughts and actions, City of Angels comes alive with action, romance, mystery, and most strikingly, a brilliant jazz score.
