Baseado no livro homónimo de Andy Zeffer, o filme dá-nos uma visão intrigante e verdadeira da Hollywood dos tempos modernos. Mostra-nos como a amizade é importante para seguirmos em frente com os nossos objectivos; um conto que reflecte a nossa cultura obsessiva de nos tornarmos celebridades; um olhar revelador sobre aqueles que anseiam e desejam ser amados, adorados e bajulados a qualquer custo. Os leitores habituaram-se a gostar dos imperfeitos e falhados, mas sinceros e simpáticos, personagens Adam (Mathew Ludwinski) e Candy (Allison Lane). Agora, os espectadores terão a oportunidade de os ver e seguir numa autêntica e louca viagem em Hollywood, com todos os bons momentos que dela farão.
