Ordered to write a low budget screenplay about wrestling, Fink manages to type one sentence before hitting writer's block. Although his chatty insurance salesman neighbour Charlie helps out by teaching Fink about wrestling, the clock ticks, the temperature rises, and Fink's life spins more and more out of control.
