Clark Sheppard is a high-powered talent agent and works as a Hollywood producer. He hires Anna Percy as his intern after another person at his agency tries to fire her. Clark puts Anna in charge of several responsibilities on the set of the hyped upcoming television series "Hermosa Beach." Clark is tough and does not mince words. Those who work for him fear him and know that he has the power to make or break any Hollywood career with a simple phone call. Clark is also the father of Cammie Sheppard — the beautiful teenager who hates Anna Percy. Clark does not seem to have a soft spot in his ruthless personality for his daughter and when she angers him, he cancels her credit cards and has her BMW towed.
