A darkly comedic documentary portrait of ego, hubris, and self-destruction in the pursuit of Hollywood success.

Alternately hilarious and horrifying, Overnight chronicles one man's misadventures of making a Hollywood movie. It starts out as a rags to riches story as Troy Duffy, a Boston-bred bartender, sells his first screenplay for The Boondock Saints.
