Meet Stuart Shorter. He's a homeless, delusional, knife-obsessed, psychotic, drug- and alcohol-abusing ex-convict. And his life story is utterly irresistible. Adapted by Alexander Masters from his award-winning biography, this HBO Films production is a poignant, tragic true story that traces in reverse the life of a young boy who was transformed into a violent convict and substance abuser. Unfolding in two directions, the story introduces Alexander and Stuart as they forge an unlikely bond fighting a miscarriage of justice, and later, as Stuart slowly reveals his harrowing life story to Alexander--encompassing bouts of violence and madness, stints in prison, a lifelong battle with muscular dystrophy and an abuse-filled childhood.
