Summary
In the first half of the 1950s, Martin and Lewis mint money as movie stars--and find unique ways to make their access to gangsters payoff--but stardom tears them apart.

Then, a horrible accident changes Sammy’s life--and changes his perceived value to the gate-keepers of the entertainment industry.
