Secrets, seduction, and sorcery--two actors, co-starring in a movie, encounter a bewitching apparition--the Mistress. Promising to fulfill their desires, if they undertake provocative risks, both men agree; but is the prize worth the cost? David LaCoix, the talented, tarnished, older star, thrives on the challenge to alter his notorious lifestyle. Theodore Barrett, the young, unstable Christian Fundamentalist, battles for his beliefs, much to the Mistress' consternation, while hiding his needs and innate powers. After a long seduction, guided by mysterious intervention, the two men become lovers. With emotions coursing below the surface, an unearthly game of impossibilities and improbabilities unfolds--a game with no rules--who is who, who is manipulating whom, who is seducing whom, and to what end, played against a backdrop of the phantasmagoric and the questioning of the god-force. Who holds the gift to win?
