Soon to be a major motion picture directed by James McAvoy How far would you go to make your dreams come true? Gavin Bain and Billy Boyd were two ordinary boys from Dundee with one extraordinary ambition: to become the UK's first hip-hop superstars. Reinventing themselves as Silibil 'N' Brains, they convinced the music industry they were Californian rap prodigies - pulling off one of the most audacious hoaxes in modern music history. For more than two years, they lived the dream: a huge record deal, MTV appearances, non-stop partying, and rubbing shoulders with Madonna and Eminem. They had fame, money, and everything they'd ever wanted - built on borrowed accents and fabricated pasts. But success came with a ticking clock. The bigger they became, the closer they came to exposure. As the pressure mounted, the lie began to unravel - with devastating consequences. California Schemin' is a breathtaking true story of ambition, identity and the cost of believing your own myth - now adapted into a major film directed by James McAvoy.
