David Tennant and Michael Sheen were due to put on a play in the West End before the production was put on hold because of the pandemic. The play's director, Simon Evans, is worried that his big break is about to pass him by and tries to convince his doubtful actors to carry on rehearsals online.
With rehearsals due to begin, Simon goes missing. Michael and David embrace the opportunity to skive off, but Michael gets caught breaking the law.
An actor who was initially involved in the play, but dropped out due to scheduling conflicts, comes back to haunt the production. Georgia has sold her novel, and tells Anna that she's due to be a birthing partner for her friend. Michael is being blackmailed by his neighbour.
Michael and David are finding it hard to regain each other's trust. The show's producer, Jo, steps in to try and repair the damage. Meanwhile Michael gets drawn deeper into the situation with his neighbour. David is nervous about Georgia leaving to go off and help her friend in labour.
Simon brings in an old friend to try and convince David and Michael to put their faith in him. David has managed to stay afloat in Georgia's absence.
Jo drafts in the voice of experience to get Michael and David in line. Georgia has shared David's work without him knowing. Michael seeks resolution on what has happened to his neighbour. David is pleasantly surprised by the enthusiastic response his work receives.
