What is the plot of A whole man?
As mentioned above, A full man is an adaptation of Tom Wolfe’s bestselling novel by 1280 of the same name. Here is the description of the book of A complete man from Amazon:
The setting is Atlanta, Georgia – a turn-of-the-century boomtown, mixed race, full of new wealth and wily politicians. The protagonist is Charles Croker, once a college football star, now a late-middle-aged Atlanta conglomerate king whose oversized ego has finally collided with reality. Charlie has a quail hunting plantation of 55 acres, a young and demanding second wife and a half-empty office complex with a staggering load of debt.
Meanwhile, Conrad Hensley, a young father of two idealistic, is fired from his job at the Croker Global Foods warehouse near Oakland and finds himself spiraling into the depths of the American legal system.
And back in Atlanta, when Georgia Tech star running back Fareek ‘the Canon’ Fanon, a local product of the city’s slums, is accused of raping the daughter of a white establishment stalwart, high-end black lawyer Roger White II is asked to represent Fanon and help prevent the delicate equi racial free of the city to explode.
Charlie Coker is the main protagonist and is described as having “a lot of pride and charisma”. We’re told Netflix is aiming high for the role with Brad Pill, Woody Harrelson, George Clooney and Gary Oldman originally considered for the role.
We’re told the wife of Charlie Coker is modeled after a Sydney Sweeney.
