A young Londoner stumbles from shabby lodgings to the bright footlights, chasing success while learning the price of charm and compromise. Among journalists, actors, and kindly frauds, he navigates first love, bruising betrayals, and hard-won integrity. Wry, tender, and self-revealing, his coming-of-age is a love letter to art—and a caution about mistaking applause for purpose.
