Having left a successful career as a novela actor in Buenos Aires for a shot at fame and success in New York, boyishly handsome Nico (Guillermo Pfening) quickly finds his dreams of stardom colliding with the realities of life in this strange and unforgiving new city. Making ends meet by babysitting, waiting tables and occasionally shoplifting, Nico pins his hopes for both professional success and permanent residency on a role in a new film by a hot up-and-coming Mexican director—and working his way into the good graces of powerful movie producer Kara Reynolds (Cristina Morrison.) But while the promise of stardom in his new country seems just within reach, a series of increasingly painful humiliations, and the unexpected appearance of troubled former lover Martin (Rafael Ferro), soon push Nico to his breaking point, forcing him to choose between the hard realities of life as a struggling actor in New York or admitting defeat and returning to Argentina.
Abandonando una exitosa carrera como actor de telenovelas en Buenos Aires por la posibilidad de obtener fama y éxito en Nueva York, Nico (Guillermo Pfening), con su cara de niño lindo, descubre rápidamente que sus sueños de estrellato chocan con la realidad de la vida en esta extraña e inclemente nueva ciudad. Tratando de sobrevivir cuidando niños, sirviendo mesas y de tanto en tanto robando, Nico deposita sus esperanzas de éxito profesional y residencia permanente en obtener un papel en la nueva película de un exitoso director mexicano, y tratando de congraciarse con una influyente productora de cine, Kara Reynolds (Cristina Morrison). Pero aunque la promesa de fama en el nuevo país parece estar a su alcance, una serie de humillaciones cada vez mas dolorosas y la inesperada aparición de un problemático ex-amante, Martín (Rafael Ferro), empujan a Nico al punto de ruptura, obligándolo a elegir entre la dura realidad de la vida como un pobre actor en Nueva York, o admitir la derrota y regresar a Argentina.
