Plot

Oscar Novak, a vibrant, young architect brimming with idealism, is presented with the career-defining opportunity of a lifetime. Alongside his partner, Peter Steinberg, he's propelled into a cutthroat competition against their ruthless former colleagues, Decker and Strauss, to design a multi-million dollar cultural center. The puppeteer behind the scenes, the wealthy tycoon Charles Newman, orchestrates this contest, delighting in the publicity it garners. However, the plot thickens when Newman, captivated by Oscar's unwavering dedication and commitment, assigns him an unexpected task—to spy on Amy, his mistress, a woman he guards as fiercely as his financial empire. The ostensibly straightforward mission spirals into chaos as Oscar, with his clumsy surveillance attempts, unexpectedly falls head over heels for Amy, a fiery, independent artist who reciprocates his feelings. Oscar's euphoria is short-lived when he uncovers a shocking misunderstanding—Newman and Amy, along with everyone else, erroneously believe him to be gay. As this erroneous perception spreads like wildfire, Oscar, a very heterosexual man, finds himself thrust into an unwanted spotlight, becoming Chicago's most talked-about gay man. His life spins out of control, culminating in him receiving the ironic honor of Chicago's Gay Professional of the Year. As Oscar stands on the precipice of this tangled web of lies and misunderstandings, he must make a crucial decision: to continue the façade, retaining his dream job and a complex friendship with the woman he loves, or to shatter the illusion, risking it all to reveal his true identity. In the heart of Chicago, Oscar Novak, the most famous gay man in the city, must confront the world with a startling confession—he is, in fact, straight.
