About
Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.
A novelist fed up with the establishment profiting from "Black" entertainment uses a pen name to write a book that propels him into the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain.
Dry wit meets biting social satire in this sharp dissection of how the literary world commodifies identity. A frustrated novelist creates a fake persona to expose industry stereotypes, only to find himself trapped by his own prank.
