A star-crossed meeting with a lost billionaire propels her into a fish-out-of-water adventure among the rich and powerful of Beverly Hills. A Rodeo Drive shopping transformation takes her from Malibu parties to opera galas where she learns that confidence, and staying true to oneself, is even more important than material wealth.

[KIT DELUCA] Character is female (cis or transgender), 20s – 40s, any ethnicity. A professional prostitute and party girl who took Vivian under her wing to teach her how to survive on the streets.
