This is no simple Hollywood story of famous boy meets ordinary girl, who then fall in love and live happily ever after. This is about the town of dreamers and make believers; skilled at casting spells of deception and deceit. And what happens when the spell is lifted, and everything that you believe in is merely an illusion? When the world of happily ever after is altered and obscured, and not only by one enticing man? For Lauren Moreau, her journey is full of raw emotions that will tempt you with curiosity and intrigue, and squeeze out passion and angst until your heart bleeds. This is Hollywood, after all... A Hollywood explosion has occurred after photos sprung up of the infamous, Jackson Cruz, in an intimate embrace with an unknown named Lauren Moreau. They met while he was in New Orleans filming the Primal Darkness series with his on-screen (and rumored off-screen) love interest Zara Tilly. Reps for both Cruz and Tilly have been silent. No one knows how this will affect the highly anticipated film’s release. These two are holding all the cards for David Black, studio head and the mastermind of the Primal Darkness phenomenon. Sources say that Black is out for blood. Hollywood, nothing is ever as it seems. **
