Hal Jacobs seems to have it all. A successful career as a Hollywood screenwriter. Two Oscar nominations. A great income. Work he can do from home. The freedom to travel when he wants. And, above all, the ability to stay hidden.

Becauuse, truth is, Hal Jacobs has something to hide. A lot, in fact. And for over 15 years, he succeeds. Succeeds in pulling off one of the biggest deceptions ever. Succeeds in hiding the truth about himself, where he came from, and who he really is. Until, in a single night, during the Oscar broadcast, the past is cracked open and Hal's days in Hollywood are numbered.

Ashes To Ashes is a story of opportunism, desertion, identity theft, betrayal, recovery and love, set during a tumultuous chapter of America's near-history.
