In this comedy drama set in the heady showbiz world of 1950s Hollywood, rising star Guy Stone (Matt Letscher) seems to have Tinseltown at his feet. Nothing can stop his rise to superstardom - apart from the uncomfortable fact that Guy is attracted to men. In order to hide this unpalatable fact from the public, Guy agrees to a sham marriage to Sally (Carrie Preston), a studio secretary. Unfortunately for Sally, she doesn't know that the marriage is a sham, and thinks that Guy has truly fallen for her. An already complicated situation becomes even worse when Guy falls in love with Communist scriptwriter Rick Foster (Adam Greer). Written and directed by Richard Day, based on his own play.
