Lance is a struggling
bit-part actor who works as a hotel
custodian. His supervisor arranges for him to moonlight as a
gigolo for hotel guests. A co-worker, Lisa, is obsessed with him and rents every film in which he appears as an extra from Eddy's video store; he never has any speaking parts. Lance finds a script left in a hotel room and slips his acting
résumé under the door. The occupant turns out to be Clara, a
screenwriter developing a
television movie based on the true story of her deceased brother. Clara recommends Lance for the lead, and the two begin an
affair. As production advances, Clara grows increasingly distressed as the film's producer reshapes a story that is deeply personal to her. The lives of Lance, Lisa, and Clara, and the tangle of relationships between them, begin to unravel. == Cast ==
