Can Hope and her friends survive the chaos of LA?
In the vibrant world of 1980s New Jersey, Hope Davis, a reserved teen writer, watches her younger sister Tina ascend to stardom in the pageant circuit. However, fate takes an unexpected turn when Tina, sensing Hope's untapped potential, nudges her sister into the showbiz world of Los Angeles.
Simultaneously, JT Freehold, a studio head grappling with the survival of his father's ailing studio, places his hopes on a movie script inspired by Hope's favorite story. As Hope navigates the chaotic and wacky realm of LA studios alongside JT, his quirky entourage—featuring his dedicated assistant Cookie and witty writer Gavin—strives to breathe new life into the fading studio.
Tina's dance studio run by the iconic Coach Darryl brings mischief and mayhem as they embark on a tour of the city of angels, exploring iconic landmarks like the Hollywood sign. The teen group soon encounter Valley Girls, waitresses, camera men, screenwriters and tour guides.
Hope's journey becomes a testament to the importance of self-discovery, while the dance studio crew discovers that success isn't solely measured in fame. The conclusion resonates with a powerful message—following one's dreams is not just a path to success but a journey of self-realization.
