How does a film script by an unknown writer get to be read by a Hollywood studio boss?
What happens if he loves it?
And what do his people do, if they have no idea who wrote it?
Stuck in workaday London, rejected by the literary elite, wannabe screenwriter Milly has no idea of the pandemonium her script is causing Stateside.
And so it falls to LA movie executive Mitch to cut through the Hollywood madness, save his own job, and rescue Milly from obscurity.
All he has to do is find her.
So begins a breathless romantic hunt, and a hilarious modern day fairytale from a sensational new voice in contemporary comic fiction.
