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.

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.
