A feel-good tale of misconceptions and class divide...
Charlotte (Charlie) Wallis dreams of being a journalist and of being part of a family unit. Life hasn't been easy for her--born to a junkie mother and brought up in a children's home--she craves a family life, but her current boyfriend isn't husband material and she's beginning to believe she's going to be the office clerk forever.
Everyone see her as a klutz or calls her ditzy, but Charlie can't help getting herself into scraps and her latest one is a biggy.
When her boyfriend dumps her, she decides to concentrate on her career and then hears of a huge story that would surely get her journalist career off to a good start.
'Does London have another Jack the Ripper?' screams the headlines.
There haven't been bodies, but prostitutes have been going missing at a rate of one a month, and without telling her anyone, Charlie dons her best fishnet stockings and hits the streets pretending to be a prostitute, all in search of that story.
But seeing her new boss, Ben, kerb crawling was the last thing she expected.
Then Ben lets her into his secret, and she not only becomes part of the 'Jack the Ripper' story she finds herself the starring role!
Romcom at its craziest, funniest and British-iest.
