Bad Sponsor

Isaac, a serial entrepreneur, has been making all the wrong financial decisions his whole life. When the shit hits the fan, his wife leaves him, the bank takes his house, his car is repossessed and he’s literally homeless in Hollywood.

Isaac finds his way to a 12-step meeting – not AA, but DA – Debtors Anonymous. When he hears the charismatic, but morally bankrupt, film producer Baron Shepard speak, he is star-struck. Baron’s pitch makes it seem easy to recover financially, as he has reduced the 12-steps to 3. Isaac is sold.

Desperate for money, Isaac asks Baron to be his sponsor, but Baron’s “Turbo Steps” takes them both on a wild and crazy detour to recovery. Along the road, Isaac meets bankrupt movie stars, entitled housewifes, spoiled teens, toxic Hollywood power brokers and confronts the wreckage of his past.
