"There’s only one thing worse than being jilted on the day of your wedding and that is being chucked a week before you have to be your best friend’s bridesmaid".

          Just graduated from drama school, Lizzie Jordan is looking forward to a glittering career at the RSC. She’s also looking forward to becoming Mrs Richard Adams.

          (Lizzie just knows that her live-in artist boyfriend is about to propose any day now).

          Yes, Lizzie knows exactly what the future holds in store.

          So how come, just one month later, Lizzie finds herself sharing a cockroach-infested house in Venice Beach, working as a waitress in a notorious transvestite bar, and pretending to be the fiance of one of the hottest directors in Hollywood – a man who just happens to be gay?

          Why does life never seem to work out the way Lizzie Jordan planned?
