ALL HUMANS ARE ALIKE.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU COME FROM, WE ALL HAVE THE SAME NEEDS AND WANTS. WHETHER WE ARE POOR, RICH, MIDDLE CLASS OR NEAR TO NONEXISTANT, EVERY ONE WANTS TO FEEL GOOD. AND EVERYONE WILL DO WHAT THEY HAVE TO IN ORDER TO BE SATISFIED. FOR FAME, FORTUNE, LOVE, LUST, GLORY, PLEASURE OR SATISFACTION OF A JOB WELL DONE. IT DOESN'T MATTER THE MOTIVE, HUMANS WILL GO TO LONG LENGTHS TO FEEL COMFORTABLE AND ON TOP OF THE WORLD.

WITH THOSE NEEDS COMES SECRETS. NO ONE WILL EVER ADMIT TO WHAT THEY'VE DONE. NOT EVEN IF THEY DESIRED IT MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD.

A HALF HOUR DRIVE FROM HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA - STONY CREEK IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THIS.

THIS QUAINT TOWN IS NOT ONLY HOME TO ONE OF THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS ARTS SCHOOLS IN CALIFORNIA, IT ALSO HAS THE HIGHEST DRUG BUST AND PROSTITUTE RECORDS. IT'S AS IF SATAN HIMSELF AS TOUCHED UPON IT'S RESIDENTS A HORRID LUST THAT'S NEAR TO INSATIABLE. THE DIRTIEST TOWN IN ALL OF THE STATE, YET A HIGHLY HONORED ONE.

QUITE A CONTRADICTION.

THE ARTS STUDENTS AND ADDICTS HAVE TOO MUCH IN COMMON, THOUGH. THEY'RE NOT AFRAID TO DO WHATEVER THEY CAN TO GET WHAT THEY WANT. THE PROSTITUTES ARE JUST LIKE THE ASPIRING ACTRESSES - TRADING FAVORS FOR SATISFACTION. THE THEATRE KIDS LIKE THE ADDICTS, THEY'LL DO ANYTHING NECESSARY TO CALM DOWN AND FOCUS. THEY'LL HIDE THE MEANS AND JUST GET ON WITH IT AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. BUT WHEN EVERYONE KEEPS SECRETS, SOMEONE'S BOUND TO GET HURT.

YES, EVERYONE IS VERY SIMILAR IN STONY CREEK, CALI. EVEN IF THEY WON'T ADMIT IT TO THEMSELVES. EVERYONE IS A LIAR.
