From the studio:
AKA is British director Duncan Roy's sensational autobiographical story of
Talented Mr. Ripley -like class envy and the search for identity.
Trapped in a working class suburb with an abusive father, Dean (Leitch) runs away from home and talks his way into a job at a high end art gallery run by Lady Gryffoyn (Quick).
Soon, Dean insinuates himself into the world of the sex, cocaine, and disco upper class set by presenting himself as Lady Gryffoyn's son, funding his deceit with credit card fraud. But Dean eventually learns that reinventing oneself comes at a price.
