Review Summary and Plot Commentary about The Last Minute
Billy Byrne is the next big thing. That's how he is percieved by the business, in the clubs, on the streets, by the paparazzi. It's a meteoric rise from the gutter to the heights of fame. He is on TV in Tokyo and London. He does photo shoot with top models in Berlin. But it's all over in a split second and Billy self-destructs. His self esteem shatters and his world spirals out of control. Billy ends up in the London Underground amongst a group of thieves who happen to be drug addicted kids. And all Billy wants is his life back as a star.
--Bobby Blades, Resident Scholar
