From birth, Todd Marinovich was raised with a defined purpose of creating the perfect athlete. Trained by his father Marv, a former pro football player,  the young Marinovich  was meticulously engineered and nurtured into a star quarterback. But three short years later he was out of the NFL. The “test tube athlete” was a full-blown drug addict;  a cautionary tale of epic proportion. Now, almost two decades removed from the national spotlight, Marinovich tells the unvarnished story of his unique ascent to stardom and the dark descent into drugs and oblivion that followed.  First-person accounts from Marinovich and his family, including his father, as well as a treasure trove of never-before-seen footage, will trace the phenom’s tale from the cradle to the gridiron and ultimately answer a persistent question…“what went wrong with Todd Marinovich?”
