Valerie and Doug (Cat Cohen & Aristotle Athari) are a long-time couple in their 30s who live in a teeny tiny New York City apartment, where they are frequently annoyed by their loud downstairs neighbors, a younger couple (Chloe Cherry & Jon Rudnitsky) who fight all the time and, oh yeah, sing karaoke constantly.... Valerie and Doug hate them, but at the same time are totally obsessed with understanding the couple's volatile dynamic. After months of being tortured, they give up their apartment and move to the suburbs, looking forward to resuming their lives and focusing on careers and friendships. But first, a little revenge. One of the neighbors, Mary, is an actress, so with the help of a theater-minded friend named Wendy (played by Ruby McCollister), Val and Doug decide to put on a fake play to humiliate her. However, the two soon get sucked into the process of producing theater and start to believe that becoming artists is their true calling.
