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 heโs having trouble distinguishing one day from the next. Thatโs 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 heโs come west in search of money, lost love and redemption, and desperately needs Timโs 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.
