Greg Sestero recounts his friendship with Tommy Wiseau and the chaotic production of The Room, the film in which he plays Mark. Written with Tom Bissell, the memoir moves between Sestero's attempts to become an actor and a set where money, instructions and tempers rarely behave predictably. It also examines the dependence and frustration beneath the two men's unlikely partnership.
