Warren Emerson, once a Shakespearian thespian of renown, is now a gambling-addicted drunk. Puck-like Samuel enchants crowds on Santa Monica’s 3rd Street Promenade reciting Shakespearian monologues his father all but beat into him while his brother Beckett, a master pickpocket, makes his way through the unsuspecting crowd. When Warren gets in deep with a vicious loan shark, his sons need to find a way to escape and like Samuel’s beloved comic book hero, Phantom Halo, they must break free of the “mud” that traps them. There is counterfeit money, a Bentley, a beautiful woman, knives, guns and an ending that is more like a Shakespearean tragedy then a film about growing up in the urban decay of Hollywood.
