Plot

Ely and Lila are two working class girls and best friends who dream of a glitzier, more glamorous lifestyle. They sneak into a nightclub where they meet Agathe and Joan a rich, lesbian couple who give them a ride home. Lila, wanting to appear to be at the same social level as the girls, lies about where she and Ely live, giving the couple the address of a nice building in a wealthy neighborhood.
Lila continues to lie herself into the life of Agathe and Joan, and her new boyfriend Maxx, while Ely feels more and more left out as she realizes that Lila is spending all her time partying with her new crowd, having been accepted as one of them, while Ely is nothing to Agathe and Joan but an inexpensive babysitter for their son. Eventually she grows sick of Lila's lies and reveals their true identity to Maxx. Lila, terrified at the thought of being rejected by her new friends, becomes furious at Ely. The two girls argue and stop talking. As Lila's lies begin to crumble around her, she realizes that Agathe and her social circle are not really her friends and that by working hard Ely is slowly achieving what she dreamed of. She gets a real job working at an upscale shoe store and eventually succeeds in reconnecting with Ely.
