When aspiring filmmaker Gillian Young (Britt Irvin) lands a job as
a producer's assistant at Kinky Bunny Pictures, she quickly finds out there's a reason they call it "show business." Between filing scripts and taking notes, Gillian and work buddies Rigby Hastings (Meaghan Rath), the aspiring writer, Danny Newell (Brendan Penny), the undiscovered actor, and Nate Warren (Michael B. Jordan), the wannabe big-time producer, find themselves in unusual situations thanks in part to their eccentric, needy and slightly insane film producer-boss, Zak Del Toro (Zak Santiago). The assistants won't let anything stand in their way and know they will have to answer phones, sort files, tweeze Zak's body hair and do whatever it takes to impress the boss if they want to survive at Kinky Bunny Pictures. The series touches on everything from first jobs, ambition, friendships and rivalries, to the glitz and not–so-glamorous side of Hollywood including binding scripts and cleaning up dog poop. But they do it all just to get that much closer to their dreams of making it big in Hollywood.
