Louie Wexler is a whiz kid comedy writer from the heyday of variety television who's down on his luck. With his devoted agent and his considerably less devoted housekeeper by his side, Louie finds himself broke, lonely and on the wrong side of middle age. Desperate to rekindle his fading career, save his posh Beverly Hills home and find the man of his dreams, Louie searches high and low for one last shot at his own real-life happy ending.
