THE CHANCER
He was born to be a star. Pity no one else thought so.
In 1989, in the west of Ireland, Donnie McNamara, tired of being a family disappointment, buys a one-way ticket to Tinseltown to pursue his ridiculed dreams of acting.
Abe Nelson, a fallen Hollywood legend, now wallows in LA dive bars.
Their worlds collide. Abe becomes a mentor for Donnie and is catapulted into Donnie’s fantastical endeavour.
But will the journey to stardom end in red carpets or red faces?
