Kept Waiting

Kept Waiting focuses on Emma Swanson, an LA-reared journalist who's stuck gathering banal quotations from celebrities on press lines while she yearns to be a part of a social scene she's gazing in on from the outside.

When she meets Jessica, a cavalier and manipulative beauty who shamelessly trades sex for the gifts it can bring, Emma becomes obsessed on both a personal and professional level. Convinced that writing a story on the sway kept women have over powerful men will earn her career respectability -- and certain that Jessica and her ilk have more honest and successful relationships with the men in Hollywood than she does -- Emma gets sucked into Jessica's orbit.

After becoming, essentially, Jessica's kept woman, Emma

realizes that Hollywood and prettied-up prostitution aren't what's wrong with her life. It's who and what she's become that's the real problem -- and whether or not she'll be able to find her way back.
