Uddrag af bogen Loud music drowned out everything as lights of various colors lit up a nightclub crowded with people. I was seated in a booth on a round couch of red leather. In front of me was a glass table with champagne and a huge pile of cocaine. Smoke and mirrors filled the room. A waitress smiled at me, poured champagne in my glass, indulged me to do some cocaine and gave me a napkin upon which she had written her number in black. “Call me,” she mimicked. Blackness before fluorescent lights in the ceiling lid up a hospital hallway. Red crosses on pale blue doors, white walls that needed painting. I was sitting on a little green stool next a small round yellow table. A few Lego pieces lay on top of a children book with Franklin the turtle hiding under a colorful umbrella on the cover. “Your wife is still unconscious,” a female voice said. I looked up. The waitress was now a nurse. “What happened?” I asked.

Robert A. Madsen er upcoming skuespiller. Han går til improvisation hos dramalæreren Abelone (Abelorten), arbejder i en biograf og fyrer den af med vennerne, mens han jager det store gennembrud. Robert drømmer om at få hul igennem til sandheden og virkeligheden – dvs. filmen – hvor han kan træde i karakter som den stjerne, han er. For skuespil handler ikke om at spille, men om at være: ægte, i live og uden hæmninger.Men det er sin sag. Selvom Robert er spændt som en fjeder og kæphøj, som kun en undermåler kan være det, er det ikke blevet til mere end en rolle i en brødreklame (”Hvad synes du om bollerne?”), og en casting som julemand forløber heller ikke helt som planlagt. Men hey, Brad Pitt startede som udstoppet kylling i Kentucky Fried Chicken!Robert gør dog heller ikke tingene nemmere for sig selv ved at rende rundt med dick’en ud af bukserne og (biiiiip) alt og alle, bogstaveligt talt, i en blæst af kokain og endeløse fester. Og et eller andet sted i suppedasen begynder tingene at kæntre for Robert A. Madsen. Eller også er det alt sammen steppin’ stones på vej mod den store berømmelse?

Hvorfor siger vi et og gør noget andet? Og hvordan skaber man varig forandring? En forandring, der ikke føles som en rævesaks om benet, men som en befrielse, som at vende tilbage til sig selv – til det, man engang var eller ønsker, man var …På vej hjem fra optagelser på en nordic noir-tv-serie i Nordsverige er Alexander ved at få en nedsmeltning. Han kører for stærkt. Men en ulykke på motorvejen gør, at han må tage en omvej op gennem de svenske skove, og pludselig ændrer omgivelserne sig.Omvejen bliver til en personlig rejse for Alexander.

Han har alt at vinde, men også alt at tabe. Han må risikere det hele for at opnå den sande sejr – sejren over sig selv.Den sande sejr er både en roman og en selvudviklingsbog.
