ynopsis

The film is a comedy about a black actor named Miles Pope (Lenny Henry) who wants to play a part in Othello. After a plane ride home from a failed acting job Miles meets a producer named Leland Carver (Frank Langella) who slips out his mob identity when the plane is about to crash but after all of that the plane does not crash. Now Miles is the only man who knows the past to this mob man. Miles gets the help of his best friend make-up artist Duane (Charles Lane-also the director) to turn him into a White man. As Miles is packing his stuff to get out of town, the hitman walks in and a struggle is in effect. Miles wins the fight and kills the hitman in an electrical fashion. Now Anthony (Andreas Katsulas - Leland Carver's top man) comes in to confirm that Miles is dead. Now Miles is mistaken as the hitman. Miles must assume a parade of identities to get away from the Mob's guns, hot on his trail.
