The story of Rachel, a young woman in her early 20s who lives with her Nigerian uncle (Danny Glover) and his American wife (Edythe Davis). When her aunt has had enough of her niece's free-spirited lifestyle she kicks her out of the house, giving her husband, Rachel's quiet-spoken uncle, little say on the matter. Rachel is left to figure it out on her own, but quickly runs into Skeeter, a washed-up movie star whose life is surprisingly similar to hers. Together, they decide to "play a part" in hopes of both getting what they need.
