Film Synopsis

Back in the 1990s, Lucas and Thomas were members of an underground rock band which failed to get anywhere.  Just when Lucas is looking forward to a future of depressing obscurity he comes across an old notebook containing songs written by Thomas.  It is thanks to these forgotten songs that Lucas manages to kick-start his music career, and within months he has become an incredibly famous pop star.  All is well until Thomas suddenly re-enters his life.  Not wishing to share his remarkable stroke of good of fortune with his old friend, Lucas decides to keep from him that he is now mega-rich and mega-famous.  So, as he returns to his old insignificant self, he hires an out-of-work actor, Francis, to take his place as the celebrity pop star.  It proves to be a disastrous decision...
