Ava is friends with her roommates Dani, Matty, and Jules, along with Matty's new girlfriend Sage. But they are the only constants in Ava's life, because instead of seeking meaningful romance with a fellow lesbian, she always seduces straight girls into hookups, including Lacey, Renee, and even two random girls in a public washroom. However, Ava will be starring in a play directed by Greta, and she soon meets her costar Shannon. Ava and Shannon will be playing the roles of Estelle and Bea, two women who were lovers in the 1950s but then broke up because Estelle was too afraid to pursue true happiness with Bea. Although Shannon is straight, she plays the role of Bea so convincingly that Ava can't help but find her fascinating. As the lines between the play and reality begin to blur, can it be that Ava is developing actual feelings for a straight girl?
