Morgan Beale is a pop icon and hates every second of it. He begins adapting the latest bestseller, The Chihuahua in the Blue Prada Bag, into a blockbuster movie just as his celebutante wife starts redecorating their home - driving Beale to stay in a hotel. One morning, on his way to Starbucks, he spots his writing partner, Luke, who has been dead for over a decade, and who is staring into a mysterious hole in the ground. Driving headlong into the hole, they discover the surreal otherworld of Starbucks Nation.

Review:

Chris Ver Wiel casts the coffee giant as the ultimate empty vessel in this satirical attack on the so-called culture of Hollywood.

Synopsis:

A satire of southern California pop culture by the award-winning feature film writer and director of such productions as Who Is Cletus Tout? finds reluctant pop icon Morgan Beale reuniting with his believed-dead writing partner on an underground film set based on one of his books and littered with characters from his own life.
