A fledging screenwriters life changes when he is offered a million dollars for his latest and most personal work - 'The Dying Gaul', the raw, autobiographical story of the death of his lover. But there's a catch - the studio thinks the project will be much more commercially viable if he will only change the dead lover to a woman. Making the offer is a smooth, ruthless and sexually avaricious studio executive who seduces the writer with the intoxicating Hollywood cocktail of power, money and sex. The studio executives wife, a screenwriter herself, discovers that her husband is having an affair with the young writer and the shock of that revelation - and the unexpected way in which she responds - sets off a dangerous series of deceptions, confessions and betrayals.
