The whirling-dervish life of a wheeler-dealer superagent who has a knack for finding solutions to seemingly hopeless problems — however unscrupulous the means. As a kid, Arliss idolized Hall of Fame outfielder Rocky Framaggio so much that he still carries around the Rock's rookie card.

And now, after a chance meeting at the racetrack, Arliss decides to help the downtrodden Rock make some scratch and get back on his feet. But after the Rock strikes out at three job attempts, Arliss comes up with a stroke of marketing genius. Arliss never dreamed of selling until he hears what Armstrong's paying.

Why would Arliss even consider representing Anya Slovachek, the th ranked woman tennis player whose father is a psychotic maniac? Well, when he sees Anya with his own eyes, Arliss' mind is made up for him. AMM client Theo Holt is the kind of football player every team needs: a reliable backup quarterback capable of winning games.

But when Theo's team decides to let him go and there are no other takers for his services, Arliss begins to wonder. When Arliss learns about a league-wide rumor that Theo is gay, he resurrects Theo's career as only Arliss can. Catcher Zack Bowers can barely get the ball back to the mound, let alone to second base.

The source of his problems: he suspects his wife is unfaithful. He demands that Arliss hire a private investigator to uncover the truth. Meanwhile, Kirby is asked to housesit Bruce Smith's 'cat'.

Arliss and Kirby decide to take beach volleyball to the next level by creating a new made-for-TV indoor tour with high-level glitz, oiled bodies, fluorescent sand and heavy promotion.

Kings owner Flora Lansing dangles part-ownership in front of Arliss if he can find a new home for her hockey team--provided there's a new stadium, complete with luxury boxes and PSLs.

But this must be kept a secret! Arliss is invited to dinner at the White House and he can't decide whom to invite as his escort. Stunned by the sudden death of a good friend, Arliss goes off on a road trip of soul searching, leaving Rita, Kirby and Stanley to manage AMM on their own.
