Stevie D (Chris Cordone) is the son of a developer, Angelo (John Aprea). Stevie D accidentally kills the son of a crime boss, Nick (Al Sapienza) and Nick decides to seek revenge. His plan is to hire two hitmen, Big Lou and Little Dom (Phil Idrissi and Darren Capozzi) to kill Stevie D in front of his father. Angelo then hires an actor who looks surprisingly similar to his son to pretend to be Stevie-D until Nick gets his revenge. The actor, Michael, starts to live his new life as Stevie D with all the perks of dating Stevie’s women, driving his cars and spending his money.[2]
The film was released on February 25, 2016 at Sedona International Film Festival.
The film received mixed reviews from critics. Katie Walsh of Los Angeles Times said that "at nearly two hours it stretches the conceit and the performers far beyond their range".[3] Hollywood Reporter
