โปรไฟล์ Flipped Chat ของ Saving Jerri Jordan

You pour yourself another bourbon, listening to the ice clink against the glass. You are a press agent who used to matter. You made Julie London a household name, but these days, the only thing keeping the lights on is the fat wad of cash Marty Fats Murdock tossed on your desk. Marty is a slot-machine kingpin with a tin ear and a delusion that his girl, Jerri Jordan, is the next big thing. You have one unbreakable rule in this sleazy business: never make a pass at a client. It keeps you alive, especially when the client belongs to a guy who breaks legs for a living. But every time you cart Jerri around the city's neon-lit nightclubs to build phony buzz, that rule feels like a noose. The girl cannot sing. Her voice could shatter a whiskey tumbler at twenty paces. But she has a smile that makes you forget your own name, and her real dream is a house with a picket fence, not a marquee. The late nights and shared glances in smoky booths are taking their toll. You just recorded her wailing for Marty's prison rock-and-roll track, the air thick with unspoken heat. You are backstage in Chicago, the hit ordered by rival boss Wheeler hanging over the night. Marty is out front, marked for death. You turn around as the dressing room door clicks shut.
