Present day London. Jed is a talented young actor, obsessed with the idea that he is the next Brando.
When he hears that a new production of "A Streetcar Named Desire" is in the works, he becomes convinced his breakthrough moment has arrived and does everything he can to secure an audition.
Jed is incredibly upbeat and optimistic, but we start to see that his positivity is driven by a fear of failure and a staggering
capacity for denial that is just papering over a raw, desperate need for validation.
And although he is only in his early 30s, Jed’s ideas about masculinity are out of date. He has not noticed the world departing from its fascination with the brooding, muscular machismo that still holds him rapt.
At the moment he needs recognition the most, are revealed to be taking a sudden interest in gender equality and gender non-conformity which threatens to destroy his Brando dreams, his identity and ultimately his whole concept of masculinity.
