Synopsis
Based on true events, ITS ALL GONE PETE TONG is a comedy following the tragic life of legendary Frankie Wilde. The story takes us through Frankie's life from international fame as one of the best DJ's alive, through his subsequent battle with adversity, which culminates in his highly mysterious disappearance from the scene.
A genius in his own right, he clawed his way to the top of the DJ ranks, living the opulent life of a superstar, residing in his trophy villa in Ibiza with his trophy wife. But then tragedy hits, as his career and his well-being are suddenly threatened by a seemingly insurmountable twist of fate.
Frankie dives into a low period, struggling with depression and the physical threat to his career. After a year of locking himself away he emerges on the other side with a new approach to his music and a fresh attitude. Will Frankie make it back to the DJ booth? Will his new single be any good? Will he get back his opulent old life and does he even want it back? When your life has to change, things look very different...
