Dramatic Arts degree in hand, Janeesia aims for Hollywood stardom.
In the meantime, she sells heating and cooling equipment inspections by phone to pay the bills. To get more acting experience, she auditions for every part that opens up.
Even in an "experimental" play such as Desert Island Blues, written and directed by the tyrannical, takes-everything-seriously Tatum.
Janeesia didn't expect to play a cactus, but it's still a speaking part, so she accepts it. She plans to joke about it when she accepts her Academy Award.
She also doesn't plan on kissing Tatum, but at a cast party, somehow that's what she does.
Which leads to a "friendly" date to watch an opera -- just because they both hate opera -- and a late night stroll on the Promenade bordering the Mississippi River. Janeesia really doesn't expect what happens that night.
After all, Janeesia has never identified as a lesbian. What is happening to her?
Janeesia also doesn't know Tatum still suffers from the heartache of losing her most beloved girlfriend to marriage with a man, and self-medicates her depression with alcohol.
Janeesia also doesn't realize how much her father's alcoholism still haunts her.
Or how much her ambition for commercial success violates Tatum's personal standards of artistic and political purity.
With so many obstacles, it's a wonder Janeesia can still play a cactus in Tatum's play.
How can they live with their love?
