Faith Brightstone arrives in Los Angeles fresh from college with big plans. She wants a starring role on television, a Malibu beach house, and a producer boyfriend. Instead she gets work as a glorified servant and a meaningless relationship. After five years of disappointment, Faith packs her suitcase, grabs her dog Muffin, and returns to New York City. She reinvents herself as an entrepreneur and earns a spot on a reality show hosted by Sybil Hunter, the businesswoman she admires most. Faith's blunt personality creates immediate conflicts with other contestants. She faces betrayal from people she trusted. As the show reaches its finale, Faith meets a man who could change everything. She must decide between pursuing fame and choosing love.
