1950s Hollywood: Every actress wants the lead role in Salome, a big-budget epic about the legendary princess who has inspired artists for centuries.
When the film’s brilliant but temperamental director casts Vera Larios, a young and unknown Mexican actress, as Salome, the decision sends shockwaves through Tinseltown. Vera quickly becomes a rising star—and a target of envy for Nancy Hartley, a struggling actress who will do anything to claim the fame she believes she deserves.
Two women navigate the cutthroat world of Golden Age Hollywood, where gossip and scandal lurk behind every camera lens. Meanwhile, the story of Salome herself unfolds: a woman torn between duty and forbidden desire, consumed by her fiery obsession with the prophet who foretells her stepfather’s doom.
In this sizzling Technicolor saga, ambition, passion, and betrayal collide with devastating consequences.
