Los Angeles. With the plug about to be pulled on hit late-night talk show after a fifteen-year run, and his wife engaged in a steamy affair with a pro baseball star, host Jack West (Kevin Nealon) is desperate - to keep aflame his fading celebrity, and avenge the misdeeds of his adulterous spouse. With the clock ticking, Jack concocts the mother of all media stunts, killing two birds with one unforgettable stone on the road to redemption.

The Scheme entangles an eclectic collection of colorful locals navigating their way through unpredictable twists and turns.
A plump private eye (Tom Arnold) teams with a macabre web-mistress (Nora Zehetner) to investigate the strange diappearance of a dead body.
A glassy-eyed cheddar head (Evan Peters) falls prey to a phony get-rich-quick guru (Christopher Titus). Imperiled actors (Kip Pardue and Dulé Hill) embark on a quest for a fresh corpse.

Cops in costume, a perculiar special effect make-up team, porn stars with dreams of stardom, a Jewish drug lord with very large brothers, Russian mobsters and others converge in this unique roller-coaster ride of comedy, mystery, murder and mayhem though the underbelly of modern day Sodom and Gomorrah.
