Synopsis/Details
Failed filmmaker Walt Walker Jr. is desperate to keep his estranged wife Sadie in his life. He's already out of the house and living in the 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. Interactive theater meets wish fulfillment? Fantasy roleplay without the sex? Field of Dreams meets The Do-Over? 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. Bobert – bad skin, bad haircut, 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.
