Plot Summary

Novelist Laura Albert (Dern) writes as her "avatar", a disenfranchised young gay man named J.T. LeRoy. When her debut novel becomes a best-seller and J.T. becomes the darling of the literary world, she enlists her boyfriend's androgynous sister Savannah Knoop (Stewart) to act as J.T. in the public eye. Together, they embark on a wild ride of double lives, infiltrating the Hollywood and literary elite, and discovering who they are while pretending to be someone else.

Trivia The real Savannah Knoop served as a consultant on the film. See more »
Goofs In multiple shots, the Bay Bridge can be seen illuminated with artist Leo Villareal's installation "The Bay Lights". This installation was installed early January 2013 and opened officially March 2013. The film is set in the late 1990s/early 2000s and as such the work would not have been installed on the bridge.
