Living large in Los Angeles a screenwriter chews his way up the Hollywood food chain. Punching out his latest film he begins an involuntary downward spiral into depression and delusion. As he tries to out-run his demons with Xanax and a lap-top, his relentless quest for purity leads him through the soul-less world of the major studios, finally bringing him to a reckoning point where he is forced to acknowledge loss and possibly recover his better instincts.
