Handsome, popular Chas Hunter, a star since childhood, wins another series lead at auditions where would be-actress Clarissa Byers is duly sent off for clumsily spilling hot coffee all over him auditioning as waitress.
Frustrated to return home for her best friend's wedding, still single and without career success, she pretends to have landed a fine role and fiance: Chad.
Paparazzi get wind of her lies which might compromises Chad's reputation, so his bossy ex and publicist decides he should play along, then dump her after the best friend's wedding.
Charming Chad gets along with the party guests and even bonds with Clarissa, who starts realizing he's her kind of Prince Charming, until the publicist arrives to break them up for maximum publicity.
