He finds the financial supporter he needs in Christian Hanover, a somewhat unscrupulous billionaire. Christian considers the proposal and asks Doug to "take care" of his mistress, Andy Hart, a perfume saleswoman. Doug pretends to date Andy so that she can get close to Christian without his wife suspecting. Doug learns that Christian is deceiving Andy about getting a divorce.

However, as he and Andy spend time together, he develops feelings for her, and now he must choose if he's in, well, for love or money.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })
