Meet Lydia Albright, one of Hollywood's hottest movie producers; Lydia's best friend and tinseltown's favourite celebrity Celeste Solange; Ueber-agent to the stars Jessica Caulfield, who knows everything and everyone that matters; and script writer Mary Anne Meyers, who can't believe her luck at having escaped the slush pile and signed on for Lydia's new blockbuster, Seven Minutes Past Midnight.
When Seven Minutes Past Midnight falls prey to her boss's petty jealousies, Lydia needs all hands on deck. And with Celeste's dear husband casting his latest arm candy in the lead of his next film, instead of, as promised, Celeste herself, she's more than happy to help out an old friend. The same goes for Jessica, who could do with a project to take her mind off the new hot-shot in her agency, whose sole intent seems to be sabotaging her career.
In Hollywood, no vicious deed goes unpunished, not if the four have anything to say about it at least, and there is no reason why they shouldn't see the movie through on their own - especially if it means settling a few old scores along the way ...
