When Mark, a sad guest on his show, seeks to expose his girlfriend's infidelity, Shaun sees a reflection of his own insecurities and blindly sympathizes with him. Dismissing warnings from his producer Charli that their guest might be a stalker, Shaun spirals into absurdity and danger. He puts both his professional and personal life at risk as Charli watches her fears come true. As Shaun navigates the chaotic fallout, he learns that in the Wild West of reality television, appearances can be deceiving, and he may have more in common with his tragic guests than he’d ever admit.

Synopsis: On the loudest, most chaotic corner in Brooklyn - the intersection of Myrtle Avenue & Broadway - Ike has built a little empire featuring a pizzeria, a bar and an apartment with his bare hands, a very loose interpretation of zoning/construction laws and lots of Adderall. One day, his Stanford PHD-student younger brother, Evan, shows up at Ike's door hellbent on pulling him away from his fiefdom for the day to go upstate and have a “serious” conversation with him. But Ike is busy - he has to fix the bar's broken soda gun, consummate his green-card wedding, finish his audiobook about Nazi Germany and crack the code to his own gun safe that he's forgotten the combination to. Oh, and he has to knead pizza dough. He has no time for nature, emotions or any kind of sentimental brotherly connection, and he’s increasingly suspicious that this big “talk” is all part of some intervention he wants no part of. Ike continues to find reasons to delay the trip and his procrastination eventually pushes Evan to a breaking point.
