Plot
Joe Scott (Craig) is a burned-out Hollywood star. Struggling on the verge of mental collapse, he is further shaken by the death of his childhood friend Boots (Max Deacon). His reminiscences of growing up in a small English seaside town throw perspective on his current plight...

Verdict
An array of small successes can’t support the crushing weight of the malformed screenplay. Not a complete loss by any means, though, and Walsh is a talent to keep an eye on.
