James McAvoy's directorial debut tells the incredible true story of two Scottish lads from Dundee who pulled off the ultimate music industry con. Posing as a famous Californian rap duo, they scored a major record deal, hit the airwaves on MTV, and lived the high life - until their wild scheme unraveled in spectacular fashion. This is the ultimate rags-to-riches-to-rags adventure, full of music, laughs, hustle, and a big dose of the unexpected.
