Jimmie Fails: Dreams, Dudes, and a Victorian Fixer-Upper
Jimmie Fails, our main man, isn't your typical hero. He's a skateboarding, heart-of-gold kinda dude trying to reclaim his ancestral Victorian mansion in a city that's, well, let's just say it's gotten a major makeover (and a hefty price tag). Along for the ride is his best bud Mont, a playwright with a penchant for epic costumes and an even bigger love for San Francisco's weirder side.
Their journey to win back the house is equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking. Think wacky schemes, soulful skateboarding montages, and enough gentrification shade to fill a whole lotta lattes.
