The Money Shot, directed by Terry Kinney, tells the story of Karen (Graham) and Steve (Weller), two glamorous movie stars with one thing in common: desperation. The night before filming a big scene for the latest film by a hot shot European director, the two meet with their respective partners to make an important decision: how far will they let themselves go to keep from slipping further down the Hollywood food chain?
