I WASN'T looking for Marilyn Monroe when I bumped into her, even though I knew she was in town filming River of No Return... So begins In A Town Called Paradox - a sweeping coming-of-age love story set during the Golden Age of Hollywood.

After her mother's sudden death, teenage Corin Dunbar is banished from New York to live with her aunt Jessie, who runs a failing cattle ranch near Paradox, a dusty speck of a town in Utah. Alone and adrift, Corin thinks her life is over - until the Big Five Hollywood studios arrive, lured by the fiery red-rock scenery that forms the perfect backdrop for their blockbuster moves.

Overnight, Paradox is transformed from a rural backwater into a playground for glamorous stars like Marilyn Monroe, Rock Hudson and Paul Newman.

Seduced by the glitz, Corin lands a job with the studios. But after a brush with the casting couch, she channels her ambition into saving the ranch - the last, crumbling legacy of the Dunbar family.

When she falls for Ark Stevenson - a charismatic stranger who's drawn to Paradox by his love of the movies - her future seems bright. But a tragic accident shatters her dreams and forces her to make an agonizing decision - one she can navigate only with the help of an unlikely ally: Yiska Begay, a Native American war hero who is on the run from prison.
