Better Man

Jimmy has it all: the fastest car on the road, his choice of beautiful women and a thriving drug dealing business in inner city Marrickville. He is handsome, charismatic and stylish…a 'role model' to many young men. His God fearing Greek parents are proud as can be as they are under the impression their son is running a legitimate Book Shop. Jimmy is rocked, however, by the return of his childhood best friend and fellow teenage tennis prodigy Ricky. Ricky, a 'champion' tennis player has spent the last 7 years in America playing with the best, and has flown back to Australia to make his professional debut at the Australian Open. As the two men try to rekindle a once unbreakable friendship, Jimmy tries to illustrate that he is every bit as successful as Ricky and expands his drug dealing business in an attempt to become 'champion' of his trade. However, his ambitious actions ignite a territorial war with rival drug dealers. While in self-improvement mode, Jimmy does the unthinkable and dates Gemma, a bohemian actress, his total opposite.
