Set in Hollywood’s golden era characterized by greed and madness, BB Danser tells his life story—one of crime, vengeance, and departures from reality.

From a young age, BB Danser is obsessed with movie cameras and cinematic storytelling, finding in them the means for building a world in which he can survive. BB’s story begins with his violent household, the wild parties thrown by the Hollywood elite, and the disappearance of his mother—the famous actress, Elizabeth Stark. When BB breaks free from the violence, he finds himself on the run after finding his father lying dead before him.

BB’s life takes another turn when he finds himself caring for a newborn baby and a troubled young woman. Though he escapes the insanity of his former life, his own grasp on sanity begins to unravel, even as his visionary talents as a movie cameraman bring him acclaim. His life is marked by the doomed romance of his life, his brief and tragic military career, and later in life, the love of his children who are also haunted by his dangerous lapse of sanity.

BB’s life is a rollercoaster story of hope, of vision, and the search for missing pieces of his sanity in a world of industrialized fantasy making.
