    Eddie (Penn) is a high-powered casting director in a tail-spin, searching for even a crumb of meaning in the hollow expanse of his existence. He lives in a posh Hollywood condo with his smugly charming business partner Mickey (Spacey), who is 'taking a break' from his wife and kids. Often they are joined in their mission for good times and perfect one-liners by two close friends: the smooth Hollywood player Artie (Shandling) and the brutish but yearning would-be actor Phil (Palminteri). Into this exclusive all-male club come three equally adrift women from three very different walks of life. First there's Darlene (Wright Penn), a cool, beautiful fast-laner herself, who two-times with both Eddie and Mickey. Then there's Donna (Paquin), an underage, runaway waif whom Artie gives to his friends as a 'care package.' Finally, there's Bonnie (Ryan), the sweet but stepped-upon exotic dancer whose unfortunate run-in with Phil sets off an unexpected chain of events. Eddie and his friends continue their entertaining and manic pursuit of sensation--until a series of encounters with destiny, decadence and even death convinces Eddie to plunge beneath the surface . . . and discover his soul.
