East-Coast attorney Chalmers Rockefeller loves his sister, but her garden parties are always a real snooze. Until an exotic "bird" flaps into the garden of boredom and privilege. Julian Bale works in Hollywood. It's not clear what he does, but he still has the craziest stories about the stars he's worked with, including James Dean. Intrigued and eager to know more about the stranger, Chalmers invites Julian on a tour of the grounds, leading him to a private beach. There, Chalmers discovers the attraction between them is mutual-and he also discovers the extent of Julian's talents.
