High profile lawyer Andrew maintains strict boundaries around sex and relationships. He meets women online for single encounters that follow his rigid protocol: one dinner, one night, never again. His digital conversations with Alyssa provide a different outlet. She claims to be a 27 year old attorney who collects books, and their late night exchanges about legal matters offer him a trusted confidant for discussing his romantic exploits. Andrew believes Alyssa is unattractive, making their friendship safely platonic. His systematic approach to both casual sex and online relationships gives him control over his busy professional life. Everything shifts when a college intern arrives at his law firm for an interview. The young woman seeking the position turns out to be Alyssa, and she differs completely from the person Andrew imagined during their digital correspondence. Her actual age, appearance, and professional status contradict everything she told him online. The discovery forces Andrew to confront the lies that have shaped their connection and reconsider the boundaries he has built around intimacy and trust.
