Running the Red

Laura has been living in Los Angeles for the last four years. Not just Los Angeles, but the heart of Hollywood, where the entertainment industry is happening. She struggled and scrimped and saved and still hasn't caught that big acting break she dreamed of when she moved there. Tonight might change all of that though. She got invited to a movie premiere, the biggest of the year and not only that she ends up making small talk with one of if not the biggest industry player in all of L.A. Los Angeles is not a city for reliable travel times though and her journey to what she hopes is her destiny gets derailed when she decides not to stop for an out of the way red light.
