Set in 1960s Los Angeles, Golden Hour follows Diana Reeves, a young, fiercely ambitious photographer working in the glamorous yet cutthroat world of Hollywood portraiture. Diana dreams of breaking into the industry and capturing the biggest stars of the golden age of cinema, but as a woman in a male-dominated field, she constantly faces rejection and skepticism. Her fortunes change when she meets Eddie Valentine, a charismatic but troubled jazz musician whose career is on the decline due to his struggles with addiction. Drawn to Eddie's talent and vulnerability, Diana decides to make him the subject of her next photography project, believing that capturing his essence could elevate her work—and his fading career. Their relationship becomes both professional and deeply personal, as they fall in love amid the highs and lows of 1960s LA nightlife, its glitz, and its darkness. As Diana’s work starts gaining attention from prominent Hollywood figures, she faces a moral dilemma: stay loyal to Eddie and help him rebuild his life, or use her newfound success to distance herself from the chaos he brings. Meanwhile, Eddie battles his inner demons as he tries to reclaim his former glory, spiraling between moments of musical brilliance and personal breakdowns.
