PLOT:
Having recently broken up, Edward Lewis, a successful out-of-town corporate raider and elegant bachelor with an impeccable sense of style, borrows his lawyer's silver 1990 Lotus Esprit SE, only to get lost on bustling Hollywood Boulevard. Looking for directions, Lewis has a chance encounter with beautiful Vivian Ward, a statuesque streetwalker with a heart of gold, and as one thing leads to another, a mutually beneficial voluntary association commences. Now, to escort suave Edward for an entire week, gawky diamond-in-the-rough Vivian has to endure a complete makeover; however, as personal secrets come to light, something is starting to change. But both Vivian and Edward have already had their share of unhappiness and hurt, and to further complicate matters, they come from different worlds. Is Vivian willing to break her rules, and give love a second chance?
