After finding real work running a neighbourhood bar, Alex believes his chance has finally come to rejoin the real world through a life of hard work and anonymity. Little does he suspect, however, that he is about to become the confident, scapegoat, psychiatrist and guardian angel of a whole posse of celebrities from the industry he left long ago.

His crises only provide fodder for sarcastic comments from Myriam, the waitress that Alex is in love with.
