While in LA, Harry meets his childhood crush Harmony Lane and "Gay" Perry van Shrike, a private investigator who is hired to give him on-the-job tutelage for his screen test. During a stakeout at a Big Bear Lake cabin, Perry and Harry see a car being dumped in the lake and accidentally shoot the lock, releasing a female body. They decide against reporting it, believing it will appear as though Perry killed her. Harry finds the lake corpse, identified as Veronica, in his bathroom and dumps it with Perry, but soon discovers that Jenna, Harmony's sister, used Harmony's credit card to hire Perry.

The film is full of twists and turns, with a complex plot that involves murder, deception, and romance.
