SYNOPSIS:

On a secluded Pacific island, one of the world's biggest secrets lies hidden...Derek works as a bellhop at the Chateau, one of LA's most exclusive hotels. He's a stubborn, resentful and solitary guy who harbors a deep crush for Lady Di. As he struggles to cope with the chronic illness of his mother, his interactions with celebrities day in and day out reaches a crescendo with him breaking Christian Bale's nose and losing his job.

With his Mom depending on him and no other options in sight, a chance meeting with Ryan Seacrest leads to a job offer that is as strange as it is lucrative and off Derek goes to Olympus, an island resort where Legends long thought to be dead are living a life of excess, debauchery and dread. If their Q scores suffer, the serum Mr. J provides to keep them alive may be withheld.

As Derek arrives to the secretive paradise his world is turned upside down and sideways. Elvis? JFK? Marilyn? The 3 Gems Club (Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Jim Belushi)? Is this all a dream? As he attempts to gather himself and make sense of his new surroundings an introduction to Marilyn Monroe leads to an encounter his Dad must have dreamed of! His first night concludes with a drunken and less than inspired Happy Birthday Mr. President performance by Marilyn to celebrate JFK's 108th birthday. He arrives for a scheduled 2 AM meeting with Walt Disney to discover the Mikey Mouse creator stabbed to death. A sudden series of shrieks startles the island residents and they congregate at Walt's bungalow to find a blood covered Derek holding the murder weapon.

Derek must gather himself and find the murderer with the help of his new found friend with benefits - along the way he discovers a history and potential future that will alter the planet unless he finds a way to stop it.
