How to win the girl and the throne on an alien planet even if you have to die trying...again and again and... Cameron McCoy is a top Hollywood leading man with an Oscar and two Golden Globes to his credit, but he considers himself to be nothing but a hood ornament, and is desperate to change his image. Against his agent's advice, he accepts the lead in Two-wheel Ordeal. Sure, the script is derivative and full of gratuitous violence, but maybe now he can portray real life, get dirty, and eventually work into character acting. Things do not go well on the Mojave Desert set, but Cam doggedly carries on--until an impossible celestial event opens a doorway to another dimension and transports him to a world where his image is definitely changed. His role is still that of the starring male, but now he has to actually live up to his hero image in order to save himself and the alien world. When he'd yearned for real life (this is real life?), he hadn't counted on there also being real pain! And how many times, he wonders, does the lead have to actually die in order to fulfill the role and return to his own body?
