This encounter sets the stage for a journey filled with eccentricity and the challenges of navigating fame's unpredictable landscape.

The story follows Senator Woody White as he navigates a series of absurd challenges, including blackmail from his wife, lawsuits from his ex-wife, and threats from various characters, all while dealing with a personal crisis of erectile dysfunction. This satirical narrative explores the chaotic and often humorous landscape of political life, reflecting on the extreme lengths to which a politician will go to maintain their image amid scandal.

Charlie is a small-time Hollywood producer who's bought one too many Mercedes on credit and whose mortgage is bigger than the debt of most Third World countries, and now he can't get a picture made anywhere.
