For aspiring cinematographer Luna Roth, coming out as bisexual at twenty-four is more challenging than she expected. While her best friend Romy is supportive, Luna struggles with her conservative parents, a lack of experience in flirting with women, and an absence of sexual history. Additionally, she needs to escape her emotionally abusive talent manager and work under a real director of photography. When Luna meets A-list actress Valeria Sullivan at the office, she sees a potential solution. By leveraging Valeria's interest in her cinematography, Luna hopes to land a PA job on Valeria's indie film—and if Valeria is as gay as Luna suspects, it could also be her chance to lose her virginity. With Romy’s help, Luna juggles impressing Valeria's director of photography, getting closer to Valeria, and supporting Romy’s career aspirations. However, as Valeria begins to show romantic interest in Luna, the delicate balance starts to unravel, straining her friendship with Romy and jeopardizing her job prospects. Luna must now decide if she can pursue her filmmaking dreams, maintain her friendship, and win over the girl—or if she’s destined to lose everything.

After taking a guest teaching gig, Oscar-winning Valeria Sullivan finds herself trapped in a battle of wits with her sexy co-professor, but can she keep her cool when things heat up in and out of the classroom? At twenty-nine, Valeria Sullivan is a celebrated, award-winning actress. But when her acting options start to decline and her attempt to transition to directing is complicated by a bad interview on a late night show, Val decides she’s had enough of Hollywood. Intent on pursuing a neglected passion, she pours herself into a guest professorship at USC, hoping to transition to academia fulltime. Standing in her way is her co-professor, Maeve Arko, whose brilliance and beauty is matched only by her contempt for Val. As Val rises to the challenges that teaching throws at her, though, Maeve starts to soften, and soon sparks are flying. Now with a job and a girlfriend she adores, Val should be happy. But Hollywood isn’t done with Val quite yet. Her directorial debut, Oakley in Flames, starts getting attention, and soon Val has to choose between her obligations to her class—and Maeve—and the burgeoning dream Hollywood career she may not be ready to leave behind.
