Upset that Hollywood big-wigs will not take a thirteen-year-old seriously, Sean Rosen invents his own representation. Eventually, his "manager" negotiates a movie deal with a major entertainment company, but Sean struggles to maintain the pretense and grows increasingly hesitant to sign away the rights to his story. Humorous first-person narration and e-mail correspondences buoy a conflict that often feels flat.
