A chance meeting between Will, an actor, and Rich, a former actor who has given up acting to fill the traditional male role of husband and provider, provides the catalyst for this exploration into the male psyche. An analogy between Rich's physical size and his self worth, now solely defined by his job, is made poignant by the fact that his department is being downsized.
