Rod, a would-be actor, only married Jean for the contact it gave him to her sister, a famous television star. Jean, who works as a secretary and supports the two of them, is tired of his lying and philandering ways. One day Lee, a woman from Rod's hometown, contacts him about acting jobs in New York City. Sparks fly when Jean meets Lee. Their friendship grows, but it is soon apparent to Lee that her feelings for Jean are a bit more than just friendly. Dare she reveal herself to Jean, unaware that Jean feels the same way? Does Jean have the courage to let Lee know that she is attracted to her, too? To what lengths will Lee go, in order to land that “big part” for herself? Will she risk her friendship with Rod? Is her love for Jean stronger than her dream to become an actress? And what of Jean? Will she have the courage to leave her husband, and find love and passion in the arms of another woman?
