Things look as if they might improve when actress Elizabeth is offered an exciting new art-house movie, and Matt discovers an "astro-cool" new sci-fi writer. Okay, so Elizabeth might have to perform one or two sexually explicit scenes in her movie, and Matt might not totally understand what his writer's novel is actually about, but they just need to keep their cool and stick together.

Luckily, Elizabeth's agent, Leon Blakely, is one of the most powerful men in the business and capable of bullying anyone into anything. Perhaps unluckily, Elizabeth and Matt are also Leon's best friends, a situation that should help Elizabeth's cause though frequently doesn't.

All three are desperate to cling on to their credibility - as well as each other - while discovering the hard way how cold life can be when you're no longer considered "hot".
