After a business class flight, Evie finds herself ensconced in the opulent celeb-packed Chateau Marmont – legendary hotel to the stars of screen and rock ‘n’ roll. She has to keep pinching herself that Rory the gorgeous man for whom she’s traded the Circle Line and criminal court is actually real. Putting her career on hold seemed like a really good idea at the time....but Evie is finding that coupledom is not nearly so simple as all those couples at dinner parties had make it look. Things get further complicated when her ex boyfriend Giles turns up to win her back and comes face to face with Rory’s own hitherto unmentioned ex. But its hard to focus on real life issues when David Bowie is passing you the phone while you're floating in a tyre ring in the Chateau Marmont pool surrounded by real life celebrities. As the puzzle pieces of her life somehow manage to form a picture, Evie realises she has landed the lead role as the “other” woman in another woman’s relationship.
