The Fame

This is the sequel to The Great Gatsby. Everybody in America knows the story. In 1922, a tragic chain of events in the midst of America's Jazz age culminates in the slaying of Jay Gatsby on his West Egg estate. However, the story didn't end there. In 2025, the domino effect of secret schemes, conspiracies, and cover-ups stemming from Gatsby's death have culminated in modern Los Angeles, where, after a highly publicized trial, diamond billionaire Thomas Pritchard, is acquitted of conspiracy and murder. Upon his return home, Thomas finds that his wife, Yasmin, and his two daughters, Amy and Skye, have entered a contract to take part in The Fame, a reality show about their lives. During filming, Thomas' past actions bear fruit, and his enemies, including an international drug cartel, as well as the heirs to the all-powerful Buchanan Family, begin to reveal themselves on and off screen. All four members of the Pritchard family must navigate the power plays and schemes of all these factions, all the while cultivating public facing personas for The Fame. The Pritchard family is highly dysfunctional, and every member is delusional, narcissistic, and vain. However, these may be the traits necessary to survive in an upside down world of plots, counterplots, glamour, sex, and betrayal, where the stakes of gossip, back-biting, and scheming, are a matter of life and death.
