Plots(1)
Talented but perennially down-on-their-luck, LESTER NILES, a struggling African American comedian, and TONY CHANG, a struggling Asian American actor, are best friends in Hollywood pondering the age-old question, "Why Am I Doing This?" while juggling relationships, family and the impending feeling of doom that theyąre never going to make it. (official distributor synopsis)
