Travis Leopold, grandson of farmer and war hero Peter Leopold, uncovers a startling secret: another Peter Leopold was involved with the New York mafia and close to the infamous Tony Accardo. Driven by curiosity and his passion for acting and history, Travis introduces “Fact-Acting,” a concept where the actor creates narratives by integrating with real-life characters and events.
Under the alias Freddy Dodge, a mob collector for the late Peter Leopold, Travis blurs reality and performance, crafting elaborate schemes that mix humor and danger. In the secretive town of Misty Glen, he navigates a world of crime, surrounded by town leaders who are unsuspectingly complicit. As Freddy, Travis amasses wealth and lives a double life, balancing his ruthless mob persona with his true self, all while gathering material for a screenplay on the enigmatic Peter Leopold.
Travis’s journey is a thrilling exploration of identity and the blurred lines between truth and performance, revealing the unpredictable consequences of immersing oneself in the shadowy world of organized crime.
