Begin Again Finnegan — Lawrence Grobel

How far would you go to help your best friend? That's the question journalist Devin Hunter faces when movie star Adrian Kiel asks him to be his alibi to cover a possible murder. Devin's decision starts a chain of events that spiral out of control as he tries to hold the pieces of his life together. This is a story about secret lives, psychiatric wards, celebrity “justice,” blackmail, betrayal and a modern day take on James Joyce in exile; but mostly it's about relationships and their consequences. It explores the loyalty of a friendship that increasingly appears one-sided and slowly implodes. The action is fast paced, with twists to the plot at every corner. The cast of characters runs the gamut of fawning fans to million-dollar lawyers and crooked accountants. It's set in Hollywood, and peels back the culture of celebrity to reveal the snake pit underneath.
