SOUNDBYTES: Truly American Genre…The Dark Side of the American Dream….These were the good guys, Robin Hood type figures
Synopsis: Obsessed with mob culture, and desperate to fit in, Thomas sets out to fix the 1992 trial of John Gotti. He believes if the plan is executed, it will put him at the center of all that he idolizes. The plot is foiled, setting off events worthy of mob lore. The Wannabe intertwines real people and true events, past and present, with fantasy.
