This is a farcical look at celebrity worship in today's society
through the eyes of Sid Straw, an affable, if not boring, software
salesman who tries to rekindle an acquaintanceship with his former
college classmate turned Hollywood star, Heather Locklear. His
innocent letter requesting an auto-graphed picture begins a bizarre
series of events that eventually costs him his job, foils his
romantic intentions toward a co-worker, drains his finances, and
generally ruins his life. Sid is a Don Quixote character with large
blind spots regarding the fate of his one-sided correspondence with
the movie star and his own behaviour. He cannot escape the wrath of
lawyers, public relations bulldogs, angry bosses, and
ex-girlfriends that drag his life down the tubes. Until he fights
back.
