Margaret Taylor's life couldn't be more average or predictable, and she prefers it that way. While she has found contentment in her daily routine and helping others fulfill their dreams with her growing business, her life threatens to be disrupted when her best friend and roommate, Emersyn, secretly enters Mags in the Ampersand Studio Contest. The prize, winning a week-long vacation to Hollywood and a date with current heartthrob and action star Kit Elliot, is anything but thrilling; much to Margaret's horror and Emersyn's delight, Margaret's "entry" wins the contest. However, Margaret's attitude takes a turn as she finally views her week in Southern California as a much-needed vacation, especially since she hasn't had one in five years. Not since... well... Peter. This trip will prove to be more than just an unexpected, twisted trip as Margaret finally cuts loose of her tightly planned life and learns to follow dreams of her own.
