Synopsis
A satirical comedy about a down-on-his-luck publicist who discovers a recently released mental health patient who looks just like a misbehaving movie star. The publicist subs him into a film, creating a new star. Fame and fortune are not all they are cracked up to be, and the two men must fight their way back to the things that matter the most.
