In the bustling city of New York, Jeff and Hunter, two self-proclaimed nobodies, strike a deal: embark on the journey of creating an original musical and submitting it to a festival. The only snag? A daunting three-week deadline! Undeterred, they enlist the talents of their actress friends, Susan and Heidi, along with their accompanist and music director, Larry. With the complete team in place, another challenge emerges—what should be the subject of their musical? Embracing the age-old wisdom of "write what you know," they set off on a meta, musical journey: writing a musical about writing a musical.
