The mysterious death of power agent Alma Astley just a
week before the 2018 Oscars sets in motion this satirical
insider tale of the politics and shenanigans lurking beneath
the glamour of Tinseltown.
Celebrity stylist Belinda Grant was the last person to see
Alma alive. Now, as she juggles the increasingly outrageous
demands of her A-list clients competing for a top spot on the
best-dressed list, Belinda finds herself entangled in a police
investigation and, worse, in the tabloids. As the week heats
up, it becomes clear that Belinda isn’t the only one who
wants things kept out of the spotlight.
Written by a real-life Hollywood stylist, I Never Signed An
NDA is a darkly funny, multi-perspective look at what it is
to be at the center of the world’s most famous red carpet.
