Elizabeth is the second assistant at a talent agency in Hollywood, where her immediate supervisor (the first assistant ) is a woman named Lara. Their boss is the volatile and druggy Scott. The extremely undemanding nature of the job gives Elizabeth plenty of time to fall in love--and to follow her own personal dream: to make the definitive film of CRIME AND PUNISHMENT. The authors, Clare Naylor and Mimi Hare, are Hollywood folks themselves: both are well-known film producers.
