Roy Radin yearned for three thinggs in his life: money, power, and to be a movie producer. Karen "Laney" Jacobs left Miami with her infant son to begin a new life in Los Angeles, aided by the millions she had made drug dealing. Robert Evans, a down-on-his-luck producer of such hits as "The Godfather", "Chinatown", and "
Love Story", needed funds to finance the making of what he thought would be his comeback film, "The Cotton Club." Each had what the others wanted, and for a short while, before Radin's decomposed body was found in a dry creek sixty miles from Los Angeles, they seemed destined for a
successful partnership.
