The Valet

In the bustling heart of Los Angeles, “The Valet” follows the life of Max Torres, an unassuming valet attendant whose quiet existence is turned upside down when he inadvertently becomes embroiled in a celebrity scandal. Max, played by a breakout actor known for his charm and relatability, works at a luxurious hotel, parking the cars of A-list actors, musicians, and socialites. With aspirations of becoming a filmmaker, he spends his evenings capturing the vibrant life of the Hollywood elite through his camera lens, while navigating his challenging personal life and strained family relationships.

One fateful evening, as he parks a flashy sports car for a famous actress, he unwittingly witnesses a compromising incident.
