The Rise and Fall of An American Scumbag is the new and fourth full length feature by Denver auteur filmmaker Dakota Bailey. The film features five interconnected stories that revolve around several bottom dwelling characters that include Johnny (Dakota Bailey), an unstable drug addicted hitman, his boss/drug kingpin Pat (Alaskan Cinder), Billy, (Darien Fox) a sadistic sociopath with a scheme to murder his father for his life insurance policy and wheelchair bound Vietnam Veteran/vigilante Wheeling Deals (L.B.). The film documents the rise and eventual self destruction of the characters and takes the viewer on a nihilistic journey full of drugs and death.
