Description

There's nothing stronger than a good story. But who gets to tell it?

Do Tell follows the story of a failed Hollywood actress, the keeper of Tinseltown's secrets, who is willing to risk it all.

When an explosive letter lands in her hands, it couldn't have come at a better time. She's an expiring Hollywood actress falling off the radar and out of favour with major studios.

The letter, written by a young starlet, alleges an assault by an A-list actor. Edie wastes no time sending it to print, buying herself a new career as Hollywood's reigning gossip columnist.

Edie has more power on the page than she ever commanded in front of the camera. But dealing in her former friends' secrets comes at a price. When her scoop transforms into the trial of the decade, Edie's decisions have the potential to ruin more than one life.
