| Synopsis: The Million Dollar Hotel
is a story of friendship, betrayal and the overwhelming power of
unconditional love. A gang of unique outcasts and misfits live in a
downtown Los Angeles fleapit, known locally as the "Million Dollar
Hotel". Their story is seen through the eyes of a lovesick innocent
named Tom Tom (Davies), who has fallen head over heels for the
tarnished street angel Eloise (Jovovich). As their relationship
develops, the Million Dollar Hotel becomes the focus of a police
investigation: one of its residents, the engaging junkie Izzy, has
come to a grisly end. To the amazement of his neighbours, he is
revealed to have been the son of a billionaire media magnate. Every
denizen of the Million Dollar Hotel falls under suspicion in the
enquiry led by FBI hardliner, Detective Skinner (Gibson). As
Skinner's investigation proceeds, the lines between murder and
suicide, sane and deranged, become very blurred indeed. |
