When Christian Taylor, a writer on HBO's wildly popular
Six Feet Under, agrees to let a British television crew film him for a documentary, he doesn't realize that they will document the moment when Executive Producer Alan Ball unexpectedly fires him.
Rather than admit he's been canned, Christian tells the crew he's got a new project, and has them follow him as he begins an unusual quest to fulfill a life long dream to become a Vegas Showboy.
From strip-mall dance studios to the stages of Vegas' top shows, from Siegfried & Roy to Whoopi Goldberg, the crew observes Christian's erratic passion-fueled journey. Along the way, they meet a cast of wild and wonderful characters who are the true life and soul of Vegas.
