Act V

When Alex Eli (Kyle Prue) is plucked from obscurity and offered the role of franchise megalith Jack Stellar, booking the gig is only the beginning. In a whirlwind week of media training, he is thrust into the deep end of shark-infested Malibu waters. As he&rsquo;s broken down and reinvented, Alex can&rsquo;t tell who to trust. There&rsquo;s the agent who needs him. The director who mentored him. The father who abandoned him. Loyalties are tested as the clock runs down to "Xander&rsquo;s" livestreamed reveal. When the cameras start rolling, who will be at his side&hellip;and will he even be himself anymore?
