Plot
The plot centers around a playable character (male or female) that has gone to New York to be with his/her sibling. In the airport, the players cab is taken by someone else and punches the player, causing the character to get dizzy and eventually get hit by a limo owned by a famous actor. The actor then sends the player to his apartment in Greenwich where the character meets his sibling who tells him that he should look for a roommate. After the character finds a roommate, he then finds a job as a dancer in a prestigious nightclub in Times Square. After paying the rent to the landlord's child, the character seeks a job opportunity as a day stock trader working in Wall Street's Financial Building.
After acquiring the trader job, the player's sibling introduces the player to his high school sweetheart. They go on 3 dates and then goes steady (If you already have a girlfriend, this will not happen). The player's sibling tells the character to go to Chinatown to celebrate where he sees the actor once more being robbed by some thug. The character helps the actor only to realize that the player intruded the set of the actor's new movie. At the apartment, the character is given a surprise birthday party where the player befriends the friends of his/her lover. After spending the night together, the player's sweetheart prepares breakfast only to hear the actor calling the character while using seductive words. This in turn infuriates the lover and leaves the player. After meeting with the actor, the player is introduced to a famous NYC agent who gives him an offer in exchange of the player being used as publicity for the actor.
The actor/actress (Ben/Starlet) forces the player to kick out his/her roommate and during the premiere of the actor/actress's movie, the player walks along the red carpet. The player's sibling and his sweetheart gate crashes and forces the player to come back to them. The player makes a decision whether to take the contract with the actor or go with his friends. The first ending where the player chooses his friends shows that the actor burned the contract and that the player was very happy and contented with his life. The second ending features the player choosing the actor and becomes big time in NYC as he becomes successful in the city together with the actor who now declares it's true feeling for the player.
