Clara is a socialite with her life set. She’s 27, with a PhD in art history ready to start working at the Guggenheim Museum when she abandons it all to follow a man to California. The man, Everett was a life long friend/crush who has never shown any romantic interest in her, but he said she could crash at his house for the summer. When she arrives she finds Everett on his way out informing her she’ll be sharing the house with a guy he rented to on Craigslist. The guy, Josh “Darling” Clara finds out is a very “hot” porn star. Josh has been working in porn for about two years. He and his on again off again girlfriend, Naomi have set their own standards for what they will and will not do and the tide is turning in a negative way in the industry. Clara and Josh meet as both of them have made life altering choices and their worlds are about to collide.
