Based on off-the-record interviews with household name actors, Mo Fanning’s dark comedy shines a light on the dark underbelly of Hollywood – where everything is possible and bad things happen

Aspiring actor Kyle Macdonald’s life takes a dramatic turn after Carlton Dupree, assistant to the world-famous director and paedophile Aaron Biedermeier, shares a jolting surprise.

At a drunken escapade in Las Vegas six years ago, a mock “Elvis” wedding between the real deal. He’s married to the gay Harvey Weinstein and implicated in things that wouldn’t so much harm his career as end it in maximum security.

What follows is a rollercoaster of fragile relationships, greed, power struggles, and Hollywood’s darkest secrets, focusing on a ripped-from-the-headlines scandal: the abuse of young men looking for a break.

Husbands’ addresses trending societal issues such as power-driven abuse and toxic masculinity, giving voice to silent victims.
