Filled with tales of love, adventure and hilarious scams and humbugs, together Taylor and Finn relive their life from their own points of view - as it happens and as it's remembered.As they recreate the pivotal moments of their life, young Finn is eager to make a name for himself as a great showman, while Taylor looks back and wonders if people will remember him as a great showman or a great fraud.
