Overview

Autumn Blackwell is Hollywood's new IT girl who is surviving the hustle and bustle by staying true to herself and not giving in to the pressure to sleep her way to the top. As an asexual, she's always felt like an outcast, and that doubles with the pressures of stardom. With award season coming up, and her last breakup on everyone's minds, she knows she needs a plus one who she won't have to worry about falling for.

Summer Evans is an academic who enjoys her studies and would rather be working on her research than attending stuffy Hollywood events. When she loses a bet and is signed up for a seat-filling service to be a desperate actress or actor's plus one, it puts her on a crash course to meet Autumn. One awards show turns into two, then three... Is she falling for Autumn? Or is this just an arrangement of convenience?
