Fred Stoller is an actor in Hollywood who has a long-distance bond with his old friend from back East, Vinnie D'Angelo, who hardly ever leaves his rent-free basement apartment. Fred calls Vinnie whenever he has an odd anecdote to relate. It's a quirky, symbiotic relationship where Fred provides Vinnie with a window to the outside world, while Vinnie is the adoring parent Fred never had — a relationship that is put to the test when Vinnie ventures cross country to stay with Fred and give show business a try.
