Evelyn Rose, once cruelly mocked as "Chubby Eve" for her weight and unrequited crush on school golden boy Julian Vance, disappears after a fateful night following graduation. Six years later, she returns as Lena Vale, a rising indie actress, only to find her career threatened when her debut film is shelved. Desperate for a lifeline, she is brought to a private Beverly Hills party to pitch to the elusive "J.V.," the new owner of Vance Studios. To her shock, the man who holds her professional fate in his hands is the very boy she tried to forget: Julian Vance.
