Philip is a gay man working for a conservative corporation. After his recent promotion, he needs a date for a company function and asks his sister's new roommate, Emily. Emily is an actress, waiting tables while starring in local plays and hoping for her big break. She agrees to be Philip's date for the party, and soon they are attending one event after another together. Philip and Emily click on many levels. Lines blur as the people they pretend to be start feeling like the people they are, causing a rift with Philip's boyfriend Jason. When Philip no longer works for the company, he doesn't need Emily to play the role of his girlfriend anymore, but to his surprise, he can't let her go.
