Feeling betrayed and unloved, Connie decides to take revenge by hiring a male escort, Joe (William Baldwin), to seduce and break Ellen's heart.
Joe agrees to the plan and begins to date Ellen, pretending to be a charming and successful businessman. As the relationship progresses, Ellen starts to develop feelings for Joe and feels torn between him and Connie. Meanwhile, Joe finds himself drawn to both women and struggles with his own conflicting emotions.
