Monday's Child

According to the old rhyme, 'Monday's child is fair of face' - but life isn't always so simple.

Gorgeous goddesses seem to surround script-reader and wannabe movie-maker Anna Brown - from her deranged glamour-queen boss to her perfect, pouting flat-mates - for Anna, being less-than-beautiful is very hard to bear.

With a dead-end job and a ghastly boyfriend to boot, she wonders if she can ever be a success. In fashion and beauty crazed London, perhaps being talented just isn't enough.

Enter Mark Swan, Britain's hottest director. Rugged, reclusive and powerful, everybody wants a piece of him - from studio heads to supermodels. He could be Anna's ticket to the top, but how can she ever hope to snag such a big star?

Fed up of being downbeat and dowdy, Anna decides to chase her dreams and, with a little help from her friends, embarks on a madcap scheme to get just what she's after...
