Jerry Maguire, an agent for American sports stars, is rich, handsome, and famous. But his fake, high-society life weighs on him. One night, he questions himself in a memo he writes, attempting to define the meaning he wants to give to his life. This memo will lead to his dismissal, and all his friends will abandon him. Only Dorothy, his assistant, and Rod, a mischievous football player, will remain loyal to him.
