On stage, Cole is a celebrated rapper, but in his private life, the exhausted musician throws himself into a frenzy of wild excess. He leaves his little daughter hanging just like he does everybody else around him. His assistant Ilana tirelessly tries to free Cole from the toxic vicious circle of drugs, narcissism and inner emptiness – but the rapper's behaviour remains erratic. In the semi-autobiographical drama TAURUS, pop star and leading man Colson Baker, aka Machine Gun Kelly, shows himself to the public as intimate and vulnerable as never before. Alongside co-star Megan Fox, he allows us to peer into the abysses of celebrity culture.
