A former Disney employee, Jessica Abrams uses her firsthand experience at the Mouse House to tell the tale of a lawyer-cum-prophet who has the audacity to reach beyond the mandate for feel-good fare to tell the truth. Along the way, the lives of various people involved in the business of family entertainment are changed – from the starlet with a secret, angling for a comeback, to the downtrodden assistants, vying for a break.
