An aging comic icon, Jackie Burke has seen better days. Despite his efforts to reinvent himself and his comic genius, the audience only wants to know him as the former television character he once played.  Already a strain on his younger brother and his wife, Jackie is forced to serve out a sentence doing community service for accosting an audience member.
