Synopsis/Details

Failed filmmaker Walt Walker Jr. is desperate to keep wife Sadie in his life. Due to a trial separation, he's already out of the house and living in their garage, so the last thing he needs is for the fledgling business they started together to go belly up, which of course is exactly what it's doing.

Not a surprise really. No one seems to understand the concept of their business. Make believe for adults? Fantasy football meets improv? Cosplay meets ASMR? Field of Dreams meets Rental Family?

Unfortunately for him, Sadie's not stupid, which is why she bet Walt that their next client won't be happy with the first actress they pick. If Walt loses, Sadie walks away from the business, in effect severing all ties.

Complicating matters is Mallory, an actress with boundless ambition but limited talent, stalking Walt for a job.

On top of everything, a new suitor waltzes into Sadie's life just as she's becoming open to the idea of love again. Bobert – bad skin, bad haircut, very religious, but a really big penis.

Walt's gonna have to think fast (never his specialty) and make some smart decisions (see previous parenthetical) if he wants to win Sadie's heart back.
