Needing money to send her documentary, "Feminism for Dummies," to the Cannes Film Festival, struggling feminist filmmaker Gillian Black gets a technical job on an indie film that turns out to be a porn flick. When the director quits, a desperate Gillian agrees to replace him in exchange for her finishing funds. Over a hectic weekend, she secretly researches porn movies and by Monday, she has transmuted schlock into art - or at least high class porn. Her husband, Hugh, however, is convinced that Gillian's surreptitious activities are evidence of an extra-marital affair and he decides to see for himself what his wife is up to.
