English Summary:

Approaching the end of a drug rehabilitation program, Jerry Stahl (Stiller) quits his job at a fast food restaurant on an impulse when an attractive woman named Kitty (Bello) pulls up at the drive-through window. The two check into a motel, where Jerry tells her about his life between bouts of sex. A series of flashbacks, intercut with their conversations, details his working life to this point.

After moving to Los Angeles from New York City, Jerry – already addicted to various prescription medications – becomes friends with another addict, Nicky (Wilson). At the urging of Nicky and his girlfriend Vola (Lourdes Benedicto), Jerry marries Vola's friend Sandra (Hurley) so she can get her green card. Sandra uses her position at a television studio to get Jerry onto the writing staff of the popular comedy series Mr. Chompers. He uses memories from his childhood, including his mother's hysterical grief over his father's death, to fuel his writing.

He juggles his Mr. Chompers job and regular visits to a heroin dealer, Dita (Liz Torres). However, his drug use eventually gets him fired. Sandra finds him a new job with a different series, No Such Luck, but star Pamela Verlaine (Cheryl Ladd) – herself a recovering addict – sternly but sympathetically insists that he kick his habit first.

Hungarian Summary:

Jerry Stahl TV-s vígjátékíróként ötezer dollárt keres hetente. A gond csak az, hogy drogra viszont hatezret költ ugyanennyi idő alatt, így hamarosan elveszti az állását, és elvonóra küldik. Itt ismeri meg Kittyt, aki jó hallgatóságnak bizonyul, de Jerry nagy szívében jut még hely Sandrának is, akit csak azért vesz feleségül, hogy ezáltal zöld kártyához segítse a nőt. Sandrán kívül persze még számtalan fura figura lesz útitársa Jerry vad hullámvasúthoz hasonlító életének, a legjobb baráttól a munkákat szerző ügynökig.
