Elodi Frey mechtaet pohodit' na svoyu ideal'nuyu sestru Adu, gordost' ih roditeley. Reshivshis' brosit' prestizhnuyu rabotu radi pisatel'skoy kar'ery, Elodi nadeetsya, chto vot-vot nastupit ee zvezdnyy chas, no prohodit god, a uspekha tak i ne predviditsya. I nadezhda smenyaetsya otchayaniem. A potom Elodi dopuskaet malen'kuyu oshibku - i kroshechnyy kameshek porozhdaet celuyu lavinu sobytiy. Ideal'naya mechta prevrashchaetsya v ideal'nyy koshmar. Ne predstavlyaya, kak vyputat'sya iz situacii, porozhdennoy pochti nevinnoy lozh'yu, Elodi idet na otchayannye mery, - no znala by ona, kuda oni ee privedut?
