Bob Crane, the ex-lead in Hogan’s Heroes, was a sixties’ movie star who now seems to be a true family man. However, that front is just a façade hiding his true self: a sex addict, who records and photographs his many sexual encounters, frequently aided by his sleazy friend John Henry Carpenter. This biographical drama reveals how Crane’s double life starts weighing him and his family down, eventually leading to tragic consequences.
