Straight-laced Meghan Miles is having a string of bad luck. Her live-in fiancé Kyle has just broken up with her, basically emptying out their apartment. A local Los Angeles on-air reporter turned local news anchor, she is included in a broadcast news blooper reel posted online, albeit one little seen or known. She is hoping to hide that fact when she goes in for an interview for a national network news anchor position. Despite the network not finding out about her on-air mishap, Meghan eventually learns that, although being on the short list of two, she ends up in second place. To cheer her up, Meghan's best friends Rose and Denise take her out on the town for an evening of boozing and generally whooping it up, behavior which is atypical for Meghan. That atypical behavior includes borrowing one of Denise's skin-tight short short dresses instead of wearing her regular attire of a pantsuit. The evening, which ends up including a one night stand with Gordon, a Renaissance man who was the bartender at the club, takes an uphill turn when Meghan learns that she will get the national network job if she impresses the network brass at the next local newscast a five o'clock. However, Meghan getting to the studio on time and prepared is not as easy as it should be as she, working her way from Gordon's apartment, eventually ends up without her car and money, and clad only in Denise's less than professional skin tight dress (that is unless one is talking about the oldest profession). As such, she gets into one misadventure after another with no guarantee that she will make it to the studio on time, or if she does that she will come across as she wants.—Huggo
