"DON'T DATE THE TALENT!" is a well-known rule for the underlings at the venerable Robert Abraham Agency. Fantasies are business, not personal, at RAA. Confusing the two has left countless hearts, futures and bank accounts, empty. This directive hasn't been a problem for twenty-four year old, aspiring screenwriter Amelia "Millie" Stevens. She's been known to flirt of course, since stroking egos is part of the deal when you work with actors. However, Millie won't compromise her future for anything less than a blockbuster with series potential kind of love, and certainly not for a b-movie lay. So she knows where and when to call "CUT" on the action.
Two years ago, Millie competed against her well-connected and wealthy peers, to land a coveted spot in RAA's mailroom trainee program, along with a pitiful salary for the privilege. Since then she's worked her way up (although her paycheck says otherwise) to an assistant's desk in the commercial department. Desperate to make her dreams come true, Millie spends her days tethered to the phone lines, and her nights completing coverages of other people's scripts, all while trying to finish her own screenplay in-between. This leaves little time, or money, to do her laundry, let alone date.
Then the featured player of Millie's other, more carnal, dreams walks into the office. Fin Covington is the twenty-eight year old, British, supremely-hot, mega-star of a hit cable show. In NYC for some theatre projects, he meets with Millie's boss, and immediately shows an interest in her. The more she encounters Fin, the more she questions the stage directions of her life. Should she ignore the rule and greenlight the affections of this celebrity on hiatus, despite the risk of exposure by her scheming colleagues and the paparazzi? Or should she "PASS" on the summer-long dalliance? As she makes her choice, Millie soon comes to realize that not everything in life can be scripted and sometimes you just have to adlib.
