Show plot summary (may contain spoilers)
After being fired from their jobs as security guards, Josh and Ivan form Video Aces, a video production company.

Among those whose paths cross with theirs are Norman Mart, an extremely right-wing presidential candidate; Samantha Gregory, a scheming music reporter; and Mo Fuzz, a producer willing to give them a chance or three if they'll work on spec.
