Sexy Ryan Banks becomes a Hollywood star overnight when he's asked to act at a party and convinces his best friend Todd Doherty to become his exclusive manager. When his career goes down hill after a failed movie, the firms boss gives Todd three months to turn the tide.

Charlie Norton from Boston was entered by her sister and only accepts at Ryan's personal insistence, and soon proves both his and the audience's favorite. The takes for the show are a surreal experience; Todd constantly coaches Ryan trough a miniature earpiece. However Charlie spontaneously feels for Todd and finds out he's the one who thinks up all Ryan's good answers; he is torn between his professional loyalty and personal emotions, so she decides to repulse Ryan on the show, but that gets edited so the audience won't notice. She makes the final, refuses to stay on the show, and gets Todd (not really) 'fired' when Ryan learns the truth- he finally points out his entire life has been sidelined for Ryans career; the studio threatens to sue Charlie for contract-breach. In the final Ryan still chooses Charlie on air over a fellow Thespian, or rather ... Written by KGF Vissers
