Cassidy是个业余演员,总是梦想着有朝一日能成名。为此她不放过任何一次试镜机会。因着急筹钱去好莱坞发展,她决定去母亲男友开的钻石店当跑腿。但慢慢地她发现这样等下去不知道要等到什么时候才能去好莱坞了,她决定跟钻石老板的儿子筹划一起抢劫案,把钻石据为己有,而让自己的前男友充当替罪羊。但看似完美的计划却在Cassidy意识到自己仍然爱着前男友而变得愈加复杂起来。Cassidy Harper (Virginia Kull) is a struggling actress sleeping on her mother's couch (Marilu Henner) and grinding out auditions, fearing that any chance at stardom may have already passed her by. Desperate to save enough money to move to Hollywood, she takes a job working as a runner for her mother's boyfriend (Ed Begley, Jr.), an importer in Chicago's diamond district. When she realizes the money is trickling in too slowly for her to put a stake together, she conspires with the owner's son (Ashton Holmes) to stage a robbery and keep the diamonds - using her former boyfriend (Zach McGowan) as the fall guy. Their hare-brained scheme only gets more complicated when she realizes she's still in love with her volatile ex.
