Ryan shows up from Wichita, Kansas and surprises his brother Brent by coming to see him at Who's Who where he and a bunch of starving wannabes meet for an acting class taught by Who's Who owner David. Brent takes Ryan to his apartment where he quickly ditches him knowing he is late on rent. Hours later Ryan comes to find out the truth about his brother.

While working at the café, Lili overhears two directors loo
