Burt Weston was a former stuntman and failed actor whom preferred impersonating villains, as he considered them more complex and multidimensional. He had a relationship with actress India Blue which lasted three years, until he faked his own death in a manner reminiscent of the Newman–Redford film The Sting (with the help of fellow actor and friend Al Jacobs), in order to acquire the success he craved. Years later, having been forgotten by the public and learning that movie director Paul Vasseria, whom had rejected Weston in the past, was going to preview his latest film, he orchestrated his ultimate comeback and revenge.
