Making Steven Famous

Columnist Donny Love, after twenty years of chasing dreams, returns to his gritty hometown of Hamilton, Ontario with his wife Allison, whose patience is wearing thin. They're expecting their first child and the pressure's on. He takes a job writing an entertainment column for the Hamilton Gazette, the steel town's daily paper. In the midst of a mid-life crisis, he writes a series of columns inventing a heroic and fantastic past for a long-lost friend named Steven McCartney. The columns take on a life of their own, as the public goes crazy for this mythical figure. Soon, Donny's exaggerated claims begin to haunt him in unexpected and humorous ways, as the column spreads like wildfire across North America. Even Hollywood latches onto the story, with ridiculous results.
