What Is The Story?

Hollywood, 1950. Magnetic - and ferocious - screen icon Tallulah Bankhead stops by for a cocktail with fading star Billy Haines. As Billy contemplates departure from the town that made him, the evening changes course as hotshot agent Henry Willson arrives - along with his young and ambitious new project, Chad Manford. How will these four navigate the delicate balance of power? The Code takes a sharp look at identity in Hollywood and how performance has become a necessity not only on the screen, but in every aspect of your life.
