An unemployed TV writer is talked into producing a feature film by his best friend, who serves as a producer. Whilst the writer is out to make the best film he possibly can, his friend cuts corners at every opportunity. So much so that he decides that they much work with an amateur dramatics society, who could provide a venue and actors for free. During filming, the pair step over an accident with an actor, which ultimately leads the theatre company to pull out, sending the writer on a journey to discover what friendship and community are really about.
