In a satire of modern American stand-up, a (mock)umentary camera crew follows up-and-coming comics from diametrically opposite worlds. One eschewing the entertainment industry in the Midwest. The other, LA-based and desperately chasing approval and attention while looking for fame. Displaying remarkable similarities in their self-centeredness and dogged pursuit of their goals, will their relentless drive be enough to take them to the top? Just when aspirations seem to be within reach, dark secrets are revealed and a shocking twist changes everything.
