Synopsis

An aimless, adrift video store clerk jumps at the first opportunity to become someone new - a chance to transform, to step into the spotlight, to become a STAR™. As he immerses himself in the role of STARBOY, he loses a self that he didn’t even know existed. It's about being an outsider, someone who never fits in, finally being given the opportunity to become someone who does.
