With hischiseled features, effortless screen presence, otherworldly vitality, strikingblue eyes, Jan-Michael Vincent seemed destined for superstardom.  However, the real Jan-Michael Vincent was areluctant sex symbol plagued by doubt and low self-confidence, a perpetualmisfit doomed to alcoholism.

Featuringinterviews with Vincent’s childhood classmates and friends, as well as hisformer Hollywood colleagues, including Donald P. Bellisario, Alex Cord, andRobert Englund, Jan-Michael Vincent: Edge of Greatnessreveals an eternal man-child, whose career and life symbolize the tragedy ofunfulfilled potential.
