An aspiring but reclusive screenwriter, Luciano Gauna (Daniel Hendler) lives in Buenos Aires but his pet hates include fear of success, STDs and especially his doorman.

When Luciano accidentally injures and hospitalizes his best friend while they are trying to entertain a group of youngsters, Luciano has to cope with the return of his other close childhood friend, Manuel (Walter Jakob), now a successful TV producer who has been working abroad in Spain.

While Manuel's work takes him to Chile, his attractive girlfriend Sofia (Jazmin Stuart) decides to stay with Luciano. This poses a huge problem for Luciano who much prefers his own company, but oddly they development a strong bond that tests all of the friend's resolve.
