PlotAndre Allen, a successful comedian who has transitioned into serious acting, is struggling to be taken seriously in his new career path. He’s preparing for the release of his new film, which is a drastic departure from his previous work, while also dealing with personal issues, including an impending and highly publicized wedding to reality TV star Erica Long. As he navigates the promotion of his film, Andre is increasingly disillusioned with the superficiality of fame and his own artistic choices.
During a critical day leading up to the premiere, he agrees to an in-depth interview with Chelsea Brown, a talented and insightful journalist. Throughout their day together, they explore various parts of Andre’s life—his past struggles with addiction, his comedic influences, and his insecurities regarding his current career trajectory. Chelsea’s probing questions force Andre to confront his true desires and the fear that he's lost touch with what makes him happy. This introspective journey ultimately serves as a catalyst for Andre, leading him to reassess both his professional and personal life.
