01 / The storyTwo worlds. One Chase.

Everybody
knows him.
Almost.

Chase Randle has spent a decade delivering cannabis to Hollywood’s elite. Everybody knows him. Nobody knows he’s always wanted to act.

A chance mistake on a studio lot changes everything. Chase is pulled into an audition and delivers a performance that surprises everyone — including himself.

As opportunities emerge, he must balance the thriving underground business that built his life with a legitimate shot at becoming the person he has always wanted to be.

Every audition opens a door.
Every delivery pulls him back.

02 / The peopleEverybody has a part to play.

A Hollywood
Rolodex. A life.

Agents, assistants, executives, old friends.
The people on both sides of Chase’s dream.

The dreamer

Chase Randle

Cannabis concierge to the stars. Everybody knows him. Nobody knows he’s been dreaming of becoming an actor his whole life.

The first believer

Ruth “Rhino” Rosen

Forty years in casting. Tiny, feared and impossible to impress. She sees talent before anybody else.

The comeback

Marty Kline

Former client, now struggling talent agent. Drinks too much, cares too much — and might be Chase’s way into the industry.

The insider

Zoey Martinez

An ambitious assistant with dreams of her own. Sharp, loyal and tired of being underestimated.

The ride-or-die

Paz

Handles logistics, tech and anything that needs handling. Cynical, hilarious and always two steps ahead.

03 / The worldThere’s a story behind every door.

The pilot opens the door.
The series keeps walking through it.

Co-star / Cameo

Chase used to deliver weed to movie stars. Now he has to act beside them. Guest stars can play heightened versions of themselves.

Chase and Bridges talking in the California countryside

The wise man

Chase visits Bridges for weed and leaves with advice that sounds absurd. Later in the episode, the farmer’s words suddenly make sense.

Different clients from Chase's delivery world

Client-of-the-week

Every delivery opens a different door into Los Angeles. Some clients last an episode. Others become part of Chase’s life.

Chase and Zoey sharing an intimate moment

Love interest

Ruth’s assistant, Zoey, knows Hollywood from the inside. As she and Chase grow closer, his two lives become harder to keep apart.

California light.
Comedy with heart.

Warm California light. Casting rooms and studio lots. A little grit, a little delusion, and a hopeful heart.
