Benjamin (Creator/MichaelAngarano) is an aspiring Science Fiction writer who lives with his mother, a fashion designed. He idolizes famed writer Ronald Chevalier ([[Music/FlightOfTheConchords Jemaine Clement]]), even attending his class at a writers camp. Benjamin submits his latest opus—''Yeast Lords: The Bronco Years''—into the camp's contest, the winning story getting picked up by Chevalier's publisher nationally. But at the same time, Chevalier's boss threatens to fire him if he doesn't submit a decent manuscript...and he ends up stealing Benjamin's.

It turns out that [[spoiler:Judith has been registering Benjamin's material with the Writers Guild of America since he was seven, which gives him the leverage to successfully sue Chevalier for plagiarism and get ''Brutus and Balzaak'' pulled from shelves]].
