- Megan Morrison is a waitress-actress still waiting for her big break to happen. Kyle West is Hollywoods latest golden boy who has it all: looks, money and talent. Both are running from past bad experiences when they clash into each other.
- An E! news show covers the story of movie star Kyle West, who just received a plaque on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The newscasters mention his new movie coming out, A.W.O.L. and that he is going to be at the same film festival in Venice as his ex-girlfriend, Lisbeth.
Meanwhile, restaurant server Megan Morrison is serving a table of young men in suits. They have a bet that she is an actor as well as a server and ask her to recite a line from one of her shows. She delivers a line about vampires. The men laugh at her and she smiles politely but is dejected.
Megan goes to an audition for the next Kyle West movie and is depressed when she learns about other actors' success.
Kyle is jogging on his expansive property near the coast. He stops when he sees a goat, with a goat handler. The handler says he's a big fan of Kyle's, and Kyles returns the compliment as the handler leaves. But when Kyle's assistant shows up, Kyle asks who that man was and why he was there. The assistant explains that the goats are responsible for carbon-free landscaping on Kyles property. Kyle asks his assistant for Lisbeth's schedule at Venice, apparently not wanting to be surprised when he sees her there.
Megan is the last person to audition at the casting call.
At the opulent property of the Institute of the Higher Mind, the head of the institute, Terence, and his wife, Deann, are viewing audition tapes from Kyle's movie. Deann likes Megan's audition, though Terence is more skeptical. Kyle walks in and says he likes her.
Megan is having drinks at a bar with her best friends and talking about Kyle West. They say that he is very handsome but they seem a little uncertain about his affiliation with the Institute of the Higher Mind, which they say might be a cult. And they are curious why his ex Lisbeth left him at the altar.
On another day, Megan is about to go out of town with her live-in boyfriend, Nick, when a crying woman appears in front of their house. Her name is Annika and she says she's pregnant with Nick's baby. Megan leaves though her boyfriend tries to explain that nothing happened.
Megan is swimming and having drinks with her friends at her friend's house. She tells her friends that maybe Nick was cheating but she hasn't felt close to him in a while, so she can't blame him entirely. The friend named Hope has invited three men over to hang out with them, to help Megan get over Nick. The group swim, drink, and dance. Megan drinks so much, she gets sick and falls asleep.
She's awakened the next morning by her buzzing phone, feeling sick and disheveled. It's her agent, telling her she has a read with Kyle West in two hours. Her agent says to get it together because it's the most important day of her life.
At Kyle's house, his assistant says that Kyle is going to have to be near Lisbeth in Venice, so Kyle says he will find a way to face her directly. Kyle meets with a woman who seems to be talking to him about Institute of the Higher Mind training but then comes on to him. After, Kyle rides his bike to the movie studio where he's interviewing female leads for his movie. He meets with Terence. He has a read and is very kind to an actress, but after she leaves, Kyle tells the casting directors that she was a pod person and that he feels more connected to the goats in his backyard.
Megan is the next person to audition. Kyle is impressed with her acting, as is Deann. Megan leaves and is about to answer a call from Nick in the parking lot when Kyle runs out to find her. She's quite teary and says she's emotional because she's had a long 24 hours. He compliments her acting and then invites her to lunch. They ride on his motorcycle to a small taco restaurant. It's supposed to be closed but Kyle knows the owner, Carlito, who opens for them.
They enjoy each other's company. He tells Megan that Terence from the Institute is his best friend and Deann is his producing partner. He asks Megan if she's interested in the Institute and she says she hasn't, but he doesn't pressure her to go. She says it obviously works for him. He invites her to go right then to a Mexican island with him, and she says yes to the adventure.
At the Institute, Terence and Deann talk about how Lisbeth is likely to make Kyle feel uncomfortable at Venice. And he's not pleased that Kyle has left with Megan; he has looked into Megan's background and found that she's an orphan. Her father left when she was a baby and her mother died a few years ago. She dropped out of college and vanished for a few months, which makes Terence nervous. He think she might destabilize Kyle. Deann says she won't be a trainwreck like Lisbeth was.
In Mexico, Kyle and Megan have a romantic time together and make each other laugh. Megan can rap and gives a short demonstration of her hip hop tribute to Shakespeare from high school. The next morning, Kyle has left her a nice note as he has to go to a business meeting, and she returns home via the private jet, smiling to herself.
Megan is on set of a television show when her agent, Leslie, arrives. She has an offer from Kyle, to be his girlfriend and then his wife. Kids and money are also involved. No drugs or cheating allowed, no unapproved contact with the media. Megan says no way and storms off.
At the Institute, Terence is talking to the therapist, the woman who had been seeing Kyle. He tells her that the arrangement with Kyle is now over. She says she became accustomed to being with Kyle and with his luxurious life and won't leave quietly.
Megan meets with Kyle and asks him what is up with the offer. He says that it's genuine, that he has fallen for her. She suggests they just date, but Kyle explains that he has to manage his reputation, and the contract allows for this. She seems to understand and says she'll think about it, and they kiss.
Megan is at her place with her friend who is also her lawyer. She looks over the contract and reminds Megan that faithfulness is not her strong suit. Without going into details, Megan agrees but says she's really crazy about him and wants to go to Venice.
Megan drives to Kyle's house. She is amazed at his home and his artwork. Terence is there and they sit down to business, to sign the relationship contract.
Meanwhile, Deann is at a restaurant with a blonde woman, telling her she's off to a great start on her acting career. It turns out to be Annika, the girl who accused Megan's boyfriend Nick of getting her pregnant. Deann thanks her and promises her an agent.
Kyle and Megan drive up to a restaurant together, their first time being seen together in front of photographers. Kyle leans over and Megan seems to think he's going to kiss her, but instead he puts a strand of her hair back into place. She seems a bit nervous, then steps out of the car with growing confidence, the strobes lighting up their faces as they make their way through the crowd.
