The film is based on the debut screenplay of Shia LaBeouf. The script is based on the experiences and experiences of its author. The award-winning director Alma Har’el is responsible for directing.

The story of the turbulent childhood of actor Otis Lort and his youth, when through dreams and cinema he tries to reconcile with his father. On the screen we will see the great rise of the young actor, who before our eyes becomes a star, and the subsequent struggles with life and addictions. The next stages of the young actor's life are portrayed by Noah Jupe and Lucas Hedges. LaBeouf plays (bravely and perhaps as part of therapy) in the difficult, ungrateful role of his own father.

The artist and singer FKA twigs makes her big screen debut as a neighbor and friend of Otis's teenage years.
