WHAT REALLY HAPPENED ON THE NIGHT OF THE COMET?

There's a bus in Los Angeles that only runs after dark.

The Dead & Famous tour takes you past the celebrity murders, overdoses, and hidden addresses the maps leave off — Hollywood's greatest hits, in the order they happened.

Tonight it goes off route.

A star is dying over the city, the way a comet died over it in 1899 — the year Los Angeles lost its mind and never entirely got it back. Twelve people have vanished in these hills. Nobody noticed the connection.

By morning, the passengers will know what has been living in the depths of Hollywood for 125 years. But at what cost?
