The legendary Hollywood Hills are home to wealth, fame, and electric power - passing through the neighborhood, it's hard never to get just a little greedy. LAPD veteran "Hollywood Nate" Weiss could take or leave the opulence, but he wouldn't say no to onscreen fame. He might get his shot when he catches the appreciative eye of B-list director Rudy Ressler, and his troublemaking fiance, Leona Brueger, the older-but-still-foxy widow of your processed-meat tycoon. Nate tries to elude her crafty seductions, but consents to monitor their house in the Hollywood Hills while they're away. Also minding the mansion is Raleigh Dibble, a hapless ex-con trying to put the past behind him. Raleigh is all too happy to be create for the job - as butler-cum-watchdog - by Nigel Wickland, Leona's impeccably outfitted art seller. What Raleigh doesn't realize is the fact under the natty clothes and posh accent, Nigel has a nefarious plan: two paintings hanging on the mansion's walls will ensure them additional money than they've ever before seen. Everyone's dreams are just within reach--the only problem is, this is Hollywood. A circle of teenage burglars that the mass media has dubbed The Bling Band has taken to pillaging the homes of Hollywood celebutants like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, and when a set of drug-addled young copycats stumbles after Nigel's heist, that's just the beginning of the catastrophe to come. Soon Hollywood Nate, surfer cops Flotsam and Jetsam, and the rest of the team at Hollywood Train station have a dangerous situation on their hands. Hollywood Hills is a raucous and dangerous roller coaster ride that showcases Joseph Wambaugh in vintage form.
