James McAvoy makes his directorial debut with this outrageously funny biographical film filled with ambition and identity-theft, set against the high-pressure world of hip hop.

Silibil N’ Brains are a rap pairing from Dundee, who masquerade as an American duo in order to be taken seriously by the music industry. But as their plan explodes into buzzy success, record deals and media attention, how long can they keep up the deception before cracks start to show?

The film is based off an audacious true story, adapted from the memoir California Schemin’: How Two Lads from Scotland Conned the Music Industry.
