Hollywood . . . a land of movie stars, models, and million dollar deals. But not for Tim Parker. Tim has a dreary job and wastes his nights drinking with struggling writers, actors, and stand-up comics. Lately heтАЩs having trouble distinguishing one day from the next. ThatтАЩs until Dean Reardon, his college roommate, appears at his doorstep. Dean, the lucky one. Dean, the guy with infinite potential. Dean . . . has changed since college. He says heтАЩs come west in search of money, lost love and redemption, and desperately needs TimтАЩs help. In A Model Community, what follows is a bizarre odyssey through the town that projects happy endings on the silver screen, but is less charitable with them in reality.
