For as long as she’s been able to sample her fair share of eligible bachelors, Jennifer Corcoran has always preferred to look at her life as being temporarily obtainable rather than single. Born and raised in the Big Apple, she was literally taught to believe that the world was her oyster.

That world, however, slowly begins to unravel when she discovers a cascade of wedding invitations awaiting her response from the numerous “friends” she’s cultivated over the years. Unfortunately for Jenna, being invited was never enough. No, each invitation has given her the “option” for the dreaded plus one.

Worried about the passive aggression she would be forced to endure should she attend solo, Jenna [with the help of older sister, Julie] cooks up a plan to hire a handsome stranger [appropriately] named Wynn to cover as her arm candy for the season.

What begins as a weekend side gig to pay the bills turns into something much greater for the struggling actor, who notices the high-class crowd that Jenna calls her circle. For a guy who’s been trying to hustle his way into a career for years, hobnobbing with the one percent is the gift that keeps on giving.

With the pressure mounting to end this charade before it all blows up in her face, Jenna pulls out all the stops in hopes of turning her cordially invited guest into a social pariah. Her actions begging the question:

When you’re already paddling in a sea of lies, is one more stroke really gonna kill ya?

This is one invitation you’re gonna regret turning down.
