Sean and Beverly Lincoln are a happily married English couple who are also the creators of a hit British TV show. Their life seems complete... that is, until a hugely powerful and charismatic US television network president persuades them to move to Los Angeles and recreate their show for American television. Things begin to unravel as soon as Sean and Beverly arrive in L.A. It soon becomes clear that the network executive has never even seen their show. To make matters worse, he insists that they replace their brilliant lead actor, an erudite Royal Shakespeare veteran with... Matt LeBlanc!
