This documentary details the investigations into the disappearances and murders of several young boys throughout the Midwest in the 1970s. Detectives conducted a nine-day, twenty-four-hour surveillance of a suspect for several hundred miles with a team of police officers from several agencies. With William 'Freight Train' Guatney in custody the kidnappings and murders of young boys stopped.

Set against the glamorous yet gritty backdrop of 1950s Hollywood, this erotic homage to classic cinema follows Joe, a struggling, out-of-work writer desperate for a break. He seemingly finds his salvation when he takes a live-in script-editing job for Norman Desmond, a faded, temperamental adult star turned domineering director. What begins as a professional arrangement quickly descends into a dark and possessive dynamic as Norman's demands become increasingly intimate and controlling.
