Project Summary
A disgraced Rolling Stone reporter on the brink of losing everything gets one last chance at redemption when he's sent to interview Death Row Records founder Suge Knight during the wild, chaotic final days before Knight turns himself in to face a life sentence—forcing the reporter to confront the same temptations that destroyed his career. Mouse used to have the dream job: entertainment reporter for Rolling Stone Magazine, chasing the biggest stories in music. But a reckless drug habit and a string of bad decisions cost him everything: his career, his credibility, and the trust of the people who once believed in him most. Desperate to prove he's still got what it takes, Mouse begs his stepfather Connor Rosenberg, the powerful Chief Editor of Rolling Stone Magazine, for one final opportunity. Reluctantly, Connor gives him a shot that could either resurrect his career or finish it for good. The assignment: land the last interview with Marion Suge Knight. With the clock ticking down to Suge Knight's impending surrender to the court and the prison system waiting for him, Mouse steps into the volatile world of one of hip-hop's most infamous figures. The interview is anything but conventional. Instead of a quiet sit-down, Mouse is pulled into Suge's final days of freedom—an unpredictable whirlwind of parties, limousines, strippers, old grudges, and dangerous stories from the rise and fall of Death Row Records. As Suge revisits the explosive era that launched icons like Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Tupac Shakur, Mouse finds himself riding shotgun through a living piece of hip-hop history. The deeper Mouse goes, the more dangerous the assignment becomes. Tempted by the same drugs that destroyed his life, surrounded by chaos, excess, and the shadow of a criminal empire, Mouse must decide whether he'll fall back into the darkness or finally prove he still has what it takes to tell the story that could redeem him. Set against the final days before Suge Knight faces justice, this is a raw, high-stakes journey into fame, power, temptation, and the price of chasing the truth. Filming in the Atlanta, Georgia area.
