If Jessica Butt had an Instagram account, her bio would sound like this, "America's biggest failure. When her third relationship falls apart, and her mother makes her blow 29 candles on her cake, she realizes that 30 is just around the corner and she hasn't achieved any success in life, except maybe that if she had a different nose, she would look like a Taylor Swift twin. And exactly 13 days after her birthday, none other than Taylor's manager herself knocks on her door. It turns out that the famous singer is missing, and Jessica is their only rescue. When a broke Jessica gets an offer of $100,000 (which also includes free nose surgery), she immediately decides to make a deal. But what if a few cracks appear in this perfect plan in the form of Harry Styles, who is, after all, the singer's ex-boyfriend, evidence of the singer's kidnapping, and a charming manager?
