A local theatre troupe is performing a play written by, directed by and starring an egotistical local actor. A classic big fish in a small pond, the manipulative theatre director challenges Harley to shed his star status and prove his acting chops. When an unstable member of the troupe latches onto Harley, he must ‘play the part' so she won't do something dangerous.

Harley's "junior" agent has gotten him a highly paid spot in a commercial for a Japanese energy drink. When the actor playing the beloved mascot for the company dies on set, it is up to Harley and Sam to find the person who is heartless enough to commit such a crime. Who will become the new mascot to uncover the death of the old mascot?
