  • "Fresh out of film school, this is Guy's (Frank Whaley) welcome to the real world of Hollywood, courtesy of his new boss, notorious studio vice president Buddy Ackerman (Kevin Spacey). And this is just the beginning.

Just when things are starting to look up, and he feels he has finally earned some respect, he is delivered a shattering blow. Now it's payback time."
