The film is the story of a group of friends who start a fake casting agency to meet women. Richie Rey appears to have it all—wealthy, single and president of a successful internet dating service PerfectForMe.com—but suffers from continual "unsuccessful dating exhaustion." Sherman Oaks, Richie's musician friend, proposes to start the "agency" and convinces Richie to fund the enterprise. They place an advertisement in a popular actor's magazine where they describe the part they are casting to conveniently reflect the perfect woman they are looking for. With a tremendous response, the two are forced to engage in the process of making a film, something neither of them have any experience doing. After complaints from women who do not make the cut, the two are left with actually making the film or creating the illusion they are in production. Unbeknownst to the two, the women launch a devious plot to outwit the men in a twisted out-of-left-field surprise ending.

Finally, she accepts the only position she can find--janitor at the Federal Reserve Bank. The one-time suburban mom soon discovers she has more in common with her new co-workers than she thought.

As the unlikely crime syndicate amasses piles of cash, it looks like they have pulled off the perfect crime--until a minor misstep alerts the authorities.
