FOR ANYONE WHO'S EVER WON. FOR ANYONE WHO'S EVER LOST. AND FOR EVERYONE WHO'S STILL IN THERE TRYING.
Tess McGill is an ambitious secretary with a unique approach for climbing the ladder to success. When her classy, but villainous boss breaks a leg skiing, Tess takes over her office, her apartment and even her wardrobe. She creates a deal with a handsome investment banker that will either take her to the top, or finish her off for good.
