Good idea, slightly over-detailed, and a little long. And, I will note, a tad confusing.

"While his midlife crisis with his fiancee Cheryl," This line is left hanging and the wording is odd. I assume the intended variation was "While in his ...". That would solve a lot of the issues with this opening line.

Minor note: You do not have to deliver or reveal any characters by name here. Cheryl's name for example could be dropped and the meaning/impression remains the same. Same with Ike. You can just say. "a Hollywood actor" and go on from there.

Overall, I would trip this down again to only what you need to deliver the main point. A synopsis can do the explaining,
