Summary

Abandonado por su padre, un trabajador migratorio, a la tierna edad de dos meses, y luego también, a los diez años, por una madre emocionalmente inestable, López creció solo, con rabia, atormentado y objeto de burlas en el Valle de San Fernando, California, criado por unos abuelos para quienes el amor era una mala palabra. Inspirado por sus ídolos, Freddie Prinze Sr. y Richard Pryor, López comienza un turbulento recorrido de veinte años por el frenético mundo de los comediantes, tratando de aprender un arte que nadie puede enseñar; triunfando una noche y fracasando la siguiente; luchando contra la ira, el alcohol, la depresión y la duda, al tiempo que se enfrenta a las barreras levantadas para impedir que los chicanos salgan adelante, especialmente en los programas de las grandes cadenas de televisión.
