Other Duties as Assigned is similar to The Graduate, as Felice, 23, having just graduated, finds herself at a crossroads: what to do next with her life. Not quite ready to face the Real World, she takes a job at her alma mater and falls in love with her boss, Sarah. At 57, Sarah is not looking for love. She has been with her girlfriend for 12 years. They share a home, five cats and a fondness for golf, but soon both of their worlds are turned upside down. Other Duties as Assigned is the story of the year-long affair between Felice and Sarah, bookended with another time, ten years later, when Sarah is dying of cancer. Felice visits Sarah in the hospital, forced to not only say goodbye to her first true love, but to come to terms with the secret they share and the consequences that secret has had on the woman she has become.
