A rich businessman's assumption that his new colleague is gay leads him to ask the man to keep an eye on his mistress. However, the man is not gay--and he begins to fall for the woman himself.

A rich businessman (Dylan McDermott), mistakenly believes that Matthew Perry, who is bidding on a $90 million restoration contract, is gay and asks him to keep tabs on his mistress, Neve Campbell. Perry, who is not gay, falls for Neve in a big way, but she thinks he's gay.—Tony Zackin <[email protected]>

Oscar Novak is an idealistic young architect on the rise, boyishly-handsome and funny. Oscar and his business partner Peter Steinberg have just landed a career-making opportunity: Chicago tycoon Charles Newman has chosen them to compete for the design of a multi-million dollar cultural center. In a ploy for publicity, Newman has pitched Oscar and Peter in a neck-and-neck competition with their archrivals and former colleagues, the hugely successful (and equally ruthless) Decker and Strauss. Impressed with Oscar's feverish dedication to winning the job, Charles assigns him the additional task of spying on his mistress Amy, whom Charles guards as jealously as he guards his investments. Oscar's bumbling attempts at surveillance fail, but he does develop a crush on Amy, a beautiful and headstrong artist, who begins to return his growing affection. Much to his chagrin, Oscar might finally have found the woman of his dreams--but then he discovers that the jealous Charles has assigned him this special job only because he (mistakenly) believes that Oscar is gay. Oscar's frustration is compounded when he realizes that Amy also believes him to be gay. In short order, Oscar's friends, his family, and even strangers on the street believe that he is gay. The very heterosexual Oscar Novak becomes the most famous gay man in Chicago, and his entire life is turned upside-down. When he is honored as Chicago's Gay Professional of the Year, Oscar must make a decision: Will he continue the lie and hold onto the job of a lifetime and a warm but frustrating friendship with the girl he loves, or is it time to face the consequences of coming out of the closet and telling the whole world that he is secretly--straight?—Anonymous

Architect Oscar and his partner Peter are competing with another pair for a restoration job; pompous businessman Charles Newman will decide who among them will do the job. He instructs them to build a model of their proposals, and he will decide which one will get the job and they must pay for it themselves. Oscar and Peter are struggling but Peter decides to mortgage his apartment so they can get the job. Peter is gay, and after being caught in a "compromising" position with him, Oscar is disbelieved to be gay. Charles' mistress Amy is surrounded by male friends and Charles gets a little insecure about it, so when he learns that Oscar is gay, he "asks" him to keep an eye on her. Oscar is taken with Amy, but when he learns that they think he is gay, he allows them to continue to think that, knowing that it could jeopardize the job. But things get out of hand when a newspaper reporter outs him, and Oscar, who has fallen for Amy and disapproves of her relationship with Charles, isn't sure what to do.—[email protected]
