A washed-up, drug-addicted actor clinging to the glory of Old Hollywood secretly moves into his estranged son’s pool house after losing everything. When his son, a rising entertainment lawyer representing the faces of New Hollywood discovers him, they’re forced to confront their fractured past and whether redemption is still possible after a lifetime of disappointment.

SYNOPSIS:

Ken Jackson was once the golden boy of Hollywood—a charming, award-winning actor adored by fans and feared by rivals. But after a series of career-destroying scandals, an inability to adapt to changing times, and suffering through addiction, Ken is broke, homeless, and unwelcome everywhere in Tinsel Town.

Out of options, he turns to the one person who might still care about him: his estranged son, Brian.

Brian Jackson is everything Ken is not—disciplined, principled, and a respected Hollywood attorney who represents the polished, media-savvy faces of New Hollywood. His sharp wit and no-nonsense reputation have made him the go-to fixer for the industry's rising stars. Brian’s career has been built on rejecting the chaos and indulgence of Old Hollywood, and he's spent years distancing himself from the legacy of actors like his father, determined to prove that success doesn’t have to come with scandal. Desperate and unapologetic, Ken sneaks into Brian's lavish Los Angeles home, devising an elaborate scheme to stay

undetected. He becomes a self-appointed "ghost roommate," scavenging leftovers, dodging security cameras, and even secretly helping himself to Brian’s wardrobe.

When Brian discovers Ken living in his pool house, the father and son confront their fractured relationship. Brian is then forced to relive the trauma of being abandoned by his father and the irony of now having to decide whether to help the man he’s spent his whole life running from.

Washed Up is a dark comedic drama that explores family, forgiveness, and the cost of living in a world where everyone is performing, even at home.
