The Boy with the Sun in His Eyes

A grieving American goes to work for a b-movie actress in Italy, only to discover that living the glamorous life could have deadly repercussions. John (Tim Swain) was mourning the death of his friend Kevin (Josh Ubaldi) when he crossed paths with Solange (Mahogany Reynolds), an actress/singer who shot to fame in the 1980s after appearing in a series of low-budget Italian horror films. At first John is intoxicated by Solange's jet-set lifestyle, though after close encounters with some unscrupulous model managers and psychotic Parisian performance artists he begins to second-guess his decision to become the reckless one-hit wonder's personal assistant. Adapted from the novel by James Derek Dwyer.
