The film tells the story of Maguire, a professional sports agent whose crisis of faith leads him to write a memorandum that advocates better service, fewer clients, and less focus on the bottom line. After he distributes the memo to his fellow agents, it gets him fired from his high-profile job. He decides to form his own agency, but is only able to convince one of his clients (played by Gooding) to stay with him, and a single employee (played by Zellweger) to join his new company.
