“In Tom Sawyer’s lightning-paced thriller, A MAJOR PRODUCTION!, non-driver Manhattan P.I. Barney Moon is again reluctantly in La La Land, his Hell-on-Earth, where his simple investigation quickly explodes -- into humor and mayhem. From a vengeful mob boss convinced Barney murdered his actress-wife, to massively bored Homeland Security Agents, fake terrorists, a glory-hound DA, Hollywood Wannabe’s and a thieving talent agent.
