Still struggling to be altruistic instead of selfish, thoughtful instead of thoughtless and disciplined instead of hedonistic, "Jim" played by Jim Jefferies, is trying to better himself and the lives of those around him — and take a little (or let’s face it - a lot) for himself every chance he gets. After having been fired from a movie that is now a big hit, Jim struggles mightily with his career and his personal life. A string of missteps and disappointments culminate in an unlikely opportunity for Jim to get his career on track. The tables turn on him when he is sexually harassed by a female executive and, just when all seems lost, performs an edgy routine about gun control that earns some surprising attention.

The question is: how do they get him to leave?
