Jose is a used-to-be-bankable but still-very-much-egoistic contract star of a TV network. Wally is his counterpart and equal from the rival network. After both of their last remaining projects fold without any hope of any continuing offers from their home networks, each of the two struggles to resurrect his respective career. Separately and unbeknownst to each other, they end up negotiating with the same common friend, TV director Vic. Choosing not to inform any of the two big-headed fading stars, Vic pitches the idea of putting them together in one show, to an executive of the alternative fast-rising third network. After a meeting wherein Vic readily agrees to every idea brought up by the executive, as if to convey that he (Vic) had already thought of these ideas for the show, a new TV project is conceived for Jose and Wally.
