Alison Darcy always wanted to meet her idol, chart-topping sensation, Justin Bieber. When her parents told her that she never would, she told them that they'd be wrong. So, when her uncle, renowned rapper, Macklemore, tells her that he's invited to Justin's house party, she jumps at the chance to go - even if that means lying to her boyfriend and sneaking behind her parents back.
Whilst at the party, she gets to know the real Justin. Not the funny, sweet, caring Bieber that was created to please the people, but the rude, obnoxious, spoiled brat who thinks he owns the world. Just as she's about to leave, she's stopped by five foreign lads by the name of One Direction, who have an odd obsession with Ali. Will she fall for their dire good-looks and their extraordinary personalities, or be chased away by management and hate?
