(from Hulu's press release, June 2026) In a world of endless streaming, binging, and algorithms, old-school cable technician Chip Douglas (Johnson) languishes alone - until Steven Stephens (Wayans Jr.) calls to have his cable turned back on, reconnecting Chip with a childhood friend he never forgot. The relationship gives each man something he's been missing... until Chip's enthusiasm turns into obsession.
