It’s all an illusion.

Back in the day, The Amazing Johnathan scored with standup comedy sets which mixed sleight-of-hand magic, gross-out theatrics, and a snarky personality.
These days, he’s somewhat hollowed-out, possibly fighting a death sentence thanks to heart disease, likely addicted to crystal meth, but still up to shenanigans.
Enter Ben Berman, a filmmaker hell-bent on transforming into the next Michael Moore.
Is he using Johnathan for his own purposes, or does the magic man still hold all the cards?
A fascinating plunge into a world where little is as it seems, and everyone is working an angle.
