Set amidst Chicago’s swing music revival of the late 1990′s, Oscar Novak (Perry), an aspiring architect and his business partner, Peter Steinberg (Platt), have just landed a career-making opportunity with a Chicago tycoon Charles Newman (McDermott) who has chosen them to compete for the design of a multi-million dollar cultural center. In a ploy for publicity, Newman has pitched Oscar and Peter in a neck-and-neck competition with their archrivals and former colleagues, the hugely successful (and equally ruthless) Decker and Strauss. In a comic twist Oscar is mistaken for a gay man when meeting with Charles Newman (Made even more humorous by the fact that Peter is genuinely gay, with Oscar’s comments leading Newman to think that Peter’s the straight one). Under the mistaken impression that Oscar is homosexual, and therefore a safe companion for his girlfriend Amy (Campbell), he asks Oscar to keep an eye on her for him to tell him who she talks to (While also making sure that she doesn’t talk to his wife). Naturally, Oscar falls for Amy virtually on sight, but she thinks he’s gay, and thus he is forced to maintain the charade of being gay to avoid getting into trouble with Newman, and losing the commission.
Matters become even more complicated when a news article about Oscar and Peter’s homosexual status is published in the Business paper, leaving Oscar in the increasingly frustrating position of having to fend off advances from various gay men while convincing his friends and family that he is simply pretending to be gay; Amy even sets him up on a date with her ex-boyfriend, football player Kevin Cartwright, but Oscar manages to defuse the situation by saying that he’s in love with someone else. Despite the embarrassing misconceptions, Oscar forms a close bond with Amy as they continue to spend time together- to the extent that Amy moves in with him after she is kicked out of her apartment-, Amy sharing various personal stories with Oscar (Such as the fact that she once had a lesbian experience in college). At the final presentation for the cultural centre, Oscar and Peter receive the commission, but Oscar is simultaneously told that he has won the award for Gay Professional Man of the Year, with Newman deciding that he will reveal his decision after the ceremony.
