A decade and a half after their seminal indie film launched meteoric filmmaking careers, Splick and Jason find themselves staring at their own individual, pre-midlife crises. Having not spoken to one another since a late-nineties falling out, theyre each grappling with the challenges of stalled careers and relationships, as the hands of time creep ominously past forty-oclock. Splicks most recent TV show, centered around his characters perverse relationship with dessert foods, is unceremoniously cancelled by the network, forcing a return to his childhood bedroom at his mothers apartment in New York. Frustrated by a barrage of comments about the good, funny, movies he used to make with his old partner, Jason, Splick determines to seek him out and attempt a reunion.
