Barely four years after winning an Oscar, Charlie has sunk into the
ranks of Hollywood bottom-feeders -- reduced to living in his
nephew's pool house, kiting checks and taking the bus to his weekly
Debtors Anonymous meeting, where he meets a mysterious ex-CIA agent
who proposes to resuscitate Charlie's foundering career -- in the
beyond surreal world of reality TV.
Charlie puts his tap shoes on to sell a show about a ruthless
Uzbek warlord and his family ("think "The Osbournes" meets "The
Sopranos"") to a rogue division of ABC, known as ABCD, which
operates out of a skunkworks in Manhattan Beach, California, and
whose mandate is to develop, under top secret cover like that for
the Manhattan Project, extreme reality TV shows to bolster the
network's ratings.
"Warlord" becomes a breakout hit and results not only in causing
one of America's largest entertainment conglomerates to go into
full damage-control mode but also in shifting the balance of power
in Central Asia and in proving that in show business it's not over
till the mouse sings.
