A scathing portrait of the Hollywood‑LA arts scene of the late 1970s, the film follows a single, shifting day in the life of its protagonist—a sharply dressed, Armani‑clad peddler who hawks high‑end drugs, counterfeit art and pretentious postures tailored to each new victim. As the deception deepens, the true casualty is the charlatan himself, whose own life unravels beneath the façade.
