• The Producer, a king in the world of entertainment and serial abuser of hopeful, young wannabes.
• Charlie, morbidly obese, murderous mafiosi adviser to . . .
• Janey, international rock goddess, a celebrity with disturbing eating habits that an ambitious young paparazzo is threatening to reveal to the public.
