During the course of an ordinary week in Hollywood, movie producer Ben must navigate his way through shark-infested waters as he struggles to complete his latest projects. A demanding studio boss demands extensive changes to a movie starring Sean Penn, while another chief won't greenlight a project unless star Bruce Willis shaves his beard. Meanwhile, Ben tries to reconcile with his wife and maintain a relationship with his young daughter.
Forget the glossy glamour of typical industry stories for a cynical, unvarnished look at the frantic ego battles behind the scenes. This claustrophobic portrait of a producer's breaking point finds its tension in endless phone calls and impossible demands.
