Cady Park is an actress. A good one. She's starred in eight movies and had major roles in at least twenty since she was four. But lately, she's been out of it. A slump, people might call it. So when the opportunity comes to audition for the lead in a blockbuster movie based off of a famous romance novel, Cady jumps at the chance.

Elliot Wing has been acting since he was three years old. He's starred in nine movies and had major roles in over thirty. However, he just moved to LA and hasn't auditioned for a movie in a year. So when the new blockbuster romance movie, "Faking Us", is looking for leads, Elliot is pressured by his fans and his agent to audition.

Cady and Elliot are thrilled when they get the parts... Until they find out who the other lead is.

The two actors have been enemies since birth. They're always trying to act in the same movies, everything simulating a competition. They hate each other.

Being forced to act like they were falling for each other has nothing to do with it, it just makes them hate each other even more.

But being a celebrity has its twists and turns, and Cady and Elliot are left behind at one of the places where the movie is shot. Alone with only each other and a tiny country town of only five hundred people, Cady and Elliot have to somehow make it back to the studios with no phone and the storm of the century releasing its fury on them. To add to the disaster, the movie already has and impending release date that is sooner than anyone ever expected.

How will they get back? And if they do, will they make it in time?
