- Synopsis
- After years of missed opportunities, criticism, and bad first impressions, three less than talented NYC actors take fate into their own hands when they devise a half baked theatrical "siege" in order to prove they have what it takes.
  Molly Mirovsky, born and raised on the Upper East Side of New York City, spends her days as a Yoga Instructor which proves to come in handy when she realizes major movie producers, talent agents, and casting directors practice Yoga at her studio. Alberto, the Cuban Casanova, is always quick to think on his feet and follow his instinct. Richard, a poetic hipster, is a writer at heart and the brains behind the operation.
  Things begin to go awry when Molly lets the boys know that Carlo Lombardi, the hottest talent agent in the business right now, is a regular student of hers. After ruining an opportunity to impress Carlo in acting class, Alberto comes up with a plan to convince him that the three of them have what it takes to be in his upcoming movie, The Strike. Meanwhile, Richard befriends "Walt Whitman reborn"- a homeless man in Central Park who provides him with the wisdom to move forward with the plan to get closer to Carlo Lombardi and eventually inspires all three of them to do whatever it takes.
  The three roommates go on stake outs and spend countless hours planning a fake attack on Carlo Lombardi in order to prove they are good actors. Through the planning process Molly, Alberto, and Richard find themselves in a sticky situation as they find out more than they bargained for and their less than well laid plans spiral out of control.
  Their world is as humorous and absurd as it is real. Trying to be something they're not, we see the journey of characters hiding their truth.
