Farce about the casting of a gay actor in a gay role on a television series which had previously been played by a straight actor. When the original star of a fictional gay-themed action series called "Espionage" unexpectedly dies, network executives search for a new actor. They cast Kerry Mitchell (Scott Victor Nelson), an openly-gay unknown. They spin the idea of an openly-gay actor playing a gay role as being something new and refreshing. As Kerry prepares for the media onslaught, he is hiding something which could ruin everything.
