Alex Fletcher is a washed-up '80s pop star who's been reduced to working the nostalgia circuit at county fairs and amusement parks. The charismatic and talented musician gets a chance at a comeback when reigning diva Cora Corman invites him to write and record a duet with her, but there's a problem - Alex hasn't written a song in years, he's never written lyrics, and he has to come up with a hit in a matter of days.
Enter Sophie Fisher, Alex's beguilingly quirky plant lady, whose flair for words strikes a chord with the struggling songwriter. On the rebound from a bad relationship, Sophie is reluctant to collaborate with anyone, especially commitment-phobe Alex.
As their chemistry heats up at the piano and under it, Alex and Sophie will have to face their fears - and the music - if they want to find the love and success they both deserve.

Robert Sandrich, a fledgling screenwriter (Peter Sarsgaard) who has been living on the fringes, finds his life changed when he is offered a million dollars for his latest and most personal work – The Dying Gaul, a raw, autobiographical story of the death of his male lover.
There is one catch – the studio demands that Robert change his dead lover’s character from a man to a woman to make the story more commercially viable.
Making the offer is Jeffrey (Campbell Scott), a smooth, ruthless and sexually avaricious studio executive who seduces Robert with the intoxicating Hollywood cocktail of power, money and sex.
When Robert confides to Jeffrey’s wife, Elaine (Patricia Clarkson) that he finds solace, both sexual and emotional, in the ghost-like world of chat rooms, the curious Elaine meets him there anonymously. As their online dialogue unfolds, she discovers that Robert and her husband are having an affair. The shock of that revelation – and the unexpected way she responds – sets off a dangerous series of deceptions, confessions and betrayals.
