Steven Toast is a RADA trained actor living in the heart of Soho's theatre land. Currently starring in a play so controversial that strangers attack him in the street, and living with another middle aged actor because his wife has thrown him out, Toast's life is not going according to plan. With the misguided help of his inept agent Jane Plough and his idiosyncratic flatmate Ed Howzer-Black we watch Toast's desperate attempts to get the woman, job and life he adamantly thinks he deserves.
