become way more famous! Armed with a stolen script and two pitchers of
sangria, Halley enlists the help of her brother Ryan and his boyfriend
to make her own movie, starring herself (of course) as herself, and any
A-list celebrity she can land along the way. From seducing the Karate
Kid to kidnapping Hollywood's biggest name in comedy, Halley will stop
at nothing to get her movie made even if it means hurting the only
people who truly care about her.
