Caiden, a well-meaning yet naive man, arrives in Los Angeles with aspirations of becoming a fitness trainer. His wide-eyed wonderment of the city clashes with its urban blight and homeless encampments. His fortunes seemingly turn when a smarmy manager at a commercial gym, struck by Caiden’s resemblance to a superhero franchise star, offers him a short-term gig impersonating the hero
at kids’ parYes. Meanwhile, Randy, a con artist impersonator on Hollywood Boulevard, faces coercion from a drug dealer under investigation by quirky street cop Dixon. Dixon suspects the dealer’s involvement in a series of deadly celebrity overdoses and sends in Randy as her informant. Randy encounters Caiden, and at first sees an unwilling fall guy, but soon their relationship grows in complexity as Caiden’s naive good intentions clash with Randy’s scheming at every turn. Their journey plunges them into a world of crime and conspiracy, exploring the darker sides of human nature, LA’s obsession with appearance and wellness, and the complexities of male friendship in the modern era.
