Oscar is an aspirational young actor living with his friend and fellow-thespian Charlie. Their twenty-something friendship dynamic is put under strain when Charlie lands a part in a Shakespeare play while Oscar endures a succession of less-than-glamorous role offers and a part-time job as a door-to-door paid fundraiser. Oscar's family life is depicted as unstable and competitive while his love life puts his friendship under more strain as a potential girlfriend chooses the consistently fortunate Charlie over him. Rejecting the support and romantic advances from his friend Sophie casts Oscar in a dim light although his efforts to assist a local shop keeper clean up his store after an attack by vandals acts as a meaningful act of redemption. Oscar and Charlie decide to move out of the shared flat although and in doing so may save their friendship. It is left open ended as to whether Oscar will continue acting having been typecast as the 'chubby funny' sort which he is initially resentful of although the film ends with a job offer.
