註釋

Set against the backdrop of Hollywood, The Cocktail Hours tells the story of a young woman, Charlie Sommers, coming into her own. The literal hours of her life are divided between cocktail waitressing, hustling with L.A.'s power elite, and trying to revive a lost relationship. Caught between Nic, her college boyfriend turned successful screenwriter, and Autumn a fellow actress/waitress who plays everything off her sexuality, Charlie quickly learns that making it in Hollywood means doing things you're not proud of. Maybe even some things you pray no-one will ever discover. The further she gets inside the world of celebrity the harder Charlie tries hanging on to her principles, but realizes that "as long as you don't know what you're missing, life doesn't seem that bad, but all it takes is one little glimpse of what you could have and suddenly your life is in shambles." The Cocktail Hours is a candid exploration of an emerging generation. The rules we're given to live by. Determining how much of our souls we'll trade for success. And the balancing act we do while searching for our identity.
