The film tells the story of Scotty Bowers, a handsome ex-Marine who landed in Hollywood after WWII and became confidante, aide de camp and lover to many of Hollywood’s greatest male – and female – stars. Working out of a gas station in the shadow of the studio lots, he began connecting his band of friends from the military with Hollywood’s most famous stars, who had to hide their often complex true sexual identities from the public in the pre-Stonewall era.
