The trouble boy

the long version

At 22, Toby Griffin wants it all--fame, fortune, an Oscar-winning screenplay and a good-looking boyfriend. For now, what he's got is a freelance writing job, a walk-up sublet in the East Village and "the boys," a young posse of preppies with a taste for high fashion, top-shelf liquor and other men. That all changes when he gets the chance of a lifetime--working as a personal assistant to a hip, ruthless film mogul. In the decadent, drug-fueled world of endless networking and relentless hype, Toby discovers that nothing is what is seems and that anything and anyone can be spun into PR gold--until one tragic night that puts him in a position of power he never could have imagined. But as his professional contacts betray him and his friends reveal troubling secrets, his choices become that much harder--and that much more important.--From publisher description.
