Rafferty Returns
Rafferty Returns is a razor-sharp neo-noir that plunges into the shadows cast by the spotlight. Jon Rafferty once reigned supreme over Hollywood’s spin machine. But after a spectacular fall from grace marked by scandal, divorce, and the collapse of his PR empire, he is restored to power and responsibility at Selwyn Bros.-Ince, one of the few giant studios, bearing the enigmatic title: Director of Special Projects.
