Californian hip-hop duo Silibil n' Brains were going to be massive. No one knew they were really Scottish. The lie was their golden ticket to a dream life. The film charts the roller coaster story of the highs of the scam and the lows of madness and the personal toll the deception took. A film about truth, lies and the legacy of faking everything in the desperate pursuit of fame.
