It is their first day at Drama Arts for each of the nervous students huddled in a circle: Dan, serious and driven; Nell, already convinced that she is going to fail; fiery, rebellious Jemma and careless, glamorous Charlie.

Facing a multitude of difficulties, these young actors will grapple with sleazy directors, desperate competition, dreary tours, unobtainable agents, rocky relationships and endless tempting jobs...
