Steward Shepard (CF) is a small-time publicist. He lies to everyone around him to get his work done. He's sweet with everyone whom he needs and rude with those whom he doesn't. He's trying to get in bed with a small time singer/ actress Pam (KH). 

He's lied to her that he's not married and of course he's lied to his wife, Kelly (RM), as well.

One fine day, as usual he enters the phone booth to call Pam, he takes off his engagement ring, finishes the call. Again an unsuccessful attempt to get her to the cheap City Hotel. 

After he hangs up the phone, the phone in the phone booth rings.... and in the next few hours his life changes completely.
