The Final Curtain

Synopsis

A veteran game show host discovers he is dying and commissions a poverty stricken novelist to pen a celebration of his life. The writer gets sucked into the vicious feud between the corrupt old man and his aggressive young rival.

Pitted against each other in a race for a lucrative American format deal, the battle between the two light entertainment heavyweights spirals out of control - and the writer starts to unravel the dark secrets at the heart of their hatred.
