Elliot Guillespie seeks to become the worlds greatest investigative reporter, ala his idol, Rod Reel. A daunting task considering he comprises a news crew of one, can't drive, and still lives in his mother's basement. To aid him in his pursuits, Elliot enlists Toby, a depressed and lonely suburban taxi driver, to be his cameraman. The two quest for the big scoop, or what passes for the big scoop in the suburban town in which they live. Complicating matters is Roy Henry, Elliot's former childhood bully, now his mothers lover, and his partner in a lawn-care business. Elliot slips further and further into psychosis as his dream seems unattainable. It would seem that to make the news, one may truly have to MAKE the news.
