Summary
Mike Wheeler gets accused of being homophobic at work, which is not on his 90s office bingo card. So in a full-blown panic and desperate to prove he’s not that guy, he lies to his coworkers that he’s gay and (for extra credibility) already has a boyfriend. Which would’ve been fine. Except it isn’t, because his department wins an all-expenses-paid company vacation, and his boss has already happily signed Mike up with a plus-one.
Now Mike has a boyfriend who doesn’t exist, a workplace that’s way too invested in his love life, and exactly zero ideas how to survive ten days without the lie collapsing like a poorly stapled brochure.
