As a junior copywriter, Michael Crosby has a natural flare for producing dazzling advertising copy for a known poison. There are two flies in that ointment-his mom is dying from it and he'd rather be writing plays. Enter ingenue stage right. Ninety-eight generations after the other drop-dead gorgeous Semele, who Zeus French-fried on a bad date, this one is just as beautiful and equally desired by today's godsa meteor, shooting up overnight into the highest layers of New York society and the powerful men who own it. A mere mortal, it is Michael who proves to be the most heroic of them all when he rescues her from a similar fatebeing set afire during foreplay with a god-like lover. A delightful and sophisticated tale that romps through the NYC advertising world, the production of a play even more cursed than "Macbeth," sectarian violence in a Polynesian paradise, as well as exploding thunderbolts on top of Mount Olympus itself, Semele captures one man's search to find his voice by losing his heart.
