After winning a lifetime achievement award, esteemed screenwriter Steven Phillips has a rude awakening. Believing the award has no real meaning, he finds out it means his career is over. His studio has reneged on renewing his contract, telling him he's "lost his edge." Junior exec Josh Martin tells him over lunch that his new script is dull and he is to be off the lot by five.
