*Synopsis*: TRUE  WEST is a character study that examines the relationship
between Austin, a screenwriter, and his older brother Lee. It is set in the
kitchen of their mother's home 40 miles east of Los Angeles. Austin is
house-sitting while their mother is in Alaska, and there he is confronted
by his brother, who proceeds to bully his way into staying at the house and
using Austin's car. In addition, the screenplay which Austin is pitching to
his connection in Hollywood  somehow gets taken over by the pushy con-man
tactics of Lee, and the brothers find themselves forced to cooperate in the
creation of a story that will make or break both their lives. In the
process, the conflict between the brothers creates a heated situation in
which their roles as successful family man and nomadic drifter are somehow
reversed, and each man finds himself admitting that he had somehow always
wished he were in the other's shoes.
