A letter arrives from Nigel’s old school friend, Sandi. Sandi has her own film company so Nigel is very excited believing she may buy one of his script ideas. Little does Nigel realise that Sandi’s film company is actually a local video store, where due to money problems he is eventually forced to take a job in order to pay the rent to their “friendly” landlord, Scott. Meanwhile Julian prepares for yet another audition.
When Nigel emerges from a drunken stupor and sees his housemate Julian in full drag he quickly puts two and two together and come up with five. Nigel is then plagued by dreams in which he gets married and Julian is his blushing bride! He tries to talk to Scott about his friend’s “problem”. To add to everything else Roderigo the gardener’s pet goat has gone missing.
Julian and Sandi become worried when Nigel turns into a couch-potato after having a new satellite dish installed, in the hope it will help his writer’s block. His writer’s block remains and worse, he refuses to wash, leave the couch, or even turn off the TV!. Julian finds himself attracted to a woman he meets at an audition, and has high hopes his days of celibacy are numbered….
After a particularly disappointing week Nigel and Julian learn there are 2 places going free at a men’s retreat weekend, and see it as an ideal opportunity to bare their souls and hobnob with some Hollywood elite. They await the weekend’s “special guest” with great anticipation….
Nigel and Julian wangle their way to a movie preview where they meet a powerful Hollywood producer who mistakes Nigel for a famous writer. He wants to make a movie with Nigel, and with Scott away for the week in Aspen the boys take over his house to impress the big Hollywood mogul at a dinner party to seal the deal. Unfortunately, Scott and Kimberley arrive home early to find their house full of un-expected guests and Nigel has to do some quick thinking….
Nigel is convinced the world is going to end and sees examples of prophecies coming true all around him. He decides it is time to reveal his true feelings to Sandy before the end comes. Meanwhile, Julian has an audition with Scott’s agent and isn’t about to let a little thing like the end of the world get in his way of making a big impression…
