Getting down and dirty in seventies LA.

A Tinsel Town story of death and glory

Where up is down and the Cop is a clown.

Silvershine springs out of seventies LA. It is laced with sex and drugs, a Federal bust and a marriage of convenience. Sterling, an English artist's manager is on a crazy journey which takes him from Joshua Tree, to West Hollywood, Malibu and the hills and canyons that lace their way across the City to the sea.
It is a time of corrupted innocence, when the sixties seem as far away as The Garden of Eden, but the beat goes on and there is enough magic in the air for miracles to happen, even in the depths of LA County Jail.
Sterling rides the wave with a faith that passes understanding, and finally meets an end that even he never dreamt of.
