David Kern is a hapless waiter who falls in love with an attractive literature student named Marie. Fate intervenes when he buys a table at a flea market and discovers a manuscript for a book in its drawers. It's a romantic tale that moves him deeply so he decides to show it to her, pretending he's the actual author. Indeed she loves it too, and their relationship blossoms. What he doesn't know is that she sends the manuscript to a publisher who quickly transforms it into a bestseller. Suddenly thrust into the world of celebrity David struggles with keeping up the ruse, especially when the real author makes his presence known.
