'Pretending to be a straight man was bad enough. Pretending to be a straight man pretending to be gay was doing my head in...'Rock star Jed Lemmon is having a bit of a mid-life crisis. He can’t write new songs, his record sales are down, and his overly-controlling manager Hinchcliffe is convinced his career is on the rocks. On top of that, he’s gay, but has never dared tell his manager. With only best friend Suzy for company, he’s lonely, depressed, and drinking and smoking too much. And then Hinchcliffe comes up with a bombshell - Jed needs to pretend he’s gay to target the pink pound.Enter Simon, a gorgeous lead singer Hinchcliffe has found to escort Jed around town, to get the rumour mills buzzing and generate more record sales. No problem, right? Wrong! Simon may be Jed’s idea of the perfect man, but the course of true love has rarely run less smooth.For starters, Jed has no idea if Simon is gay. Second, he isn’t at all sure he’s ready to come out anyway. Coming third in a lookalike contest of himself doesn’t exactly help. Then Suzy is hurt in a fire at his palatial home, and Simon’s stranded on route to a gig after someone steals his car. Over-awed by his manager, Jed perseveres with the plan, but Simon’s clearly hiding something. Is Hinchcliffe orchestrating the whole thing for his own ends? Who, if anyone, should Jed trust? Throughout the chaos Jed struggles to rediscover his musical creativity while clinging onto his sanity. In the end, though, his greatest challenge is learning how to stop being a famous rock star long enough to just be himself. For that, he and Simon are going to have to set aside their differences and discover how to trust each other again.
