Summary
Isolated on a secluded property in the Hollywood Hills, Jared and his adopted siblings were raised by a strict nanny and tutors, on the instruction of their often-absent wealthy, religious parents. Jared spent his childhood running away to play in the vineyards and wide open fields of the monastery-cum-seminary school next door, and to Jared, entering the seminary school at eighteen seemed like the perfect way to escape his stifling home. But Father Michael believes Jared needs to live a little before he’ll be ready to take his final vows, so he sends him to work in West Hollywood for a year, at a drop-in and outreach center run by former priest Jeff Morgan. There, Jared meets Jensen, a twenty-year-old hooker who’s been working the streets since he was kicked out of home five years ago. The two become fast friends and Jared soon finds himself questioning everything he always thought to be true about himself.
Title is from a quote by Marilyn Monroe: “Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.”
