The first one was bland. Is this any better?
Books are ADAM VERLAIN’s life, so when he was asked to pick
up an extremely rare first edition of “Alice in Wonderland”, he was happy to
go. Just hop over to Los Angeles, be handed the book, and hop back to London.
All nice and simple…except for one little problem.
CASEY BLANCHARD.
She’s the top line movie star who inherited the book, and she
won’t give it to Adam unless he accompanies her to a movie premier and party,
that night. Her reason for the demand is mysterious but obviously has a lot to
do with her ex-boyfriend, LANDO GRISSOM, who’s a big action-movie hero.
Adam is forced to agree, because he learns that if he does
not get the book, he’ll lose his job. So Casey has a style guru named ORISI
remake him from the skin out...including pink underwear (“It’s salmon colored!”
swears Orisi), bubble bath, pedicure, and a ten-thousand dollar tux. After all,
he has to be presentable on the premier’s red carpet.
Of course, nothing goes according to plan. Then at the
party, which for some insane reason is at Lando’s Beverly Hills home, Adam
almost drowns, ruins the tux, has a verbal sparring match with Lando, and nearly
becomes diner for a black panther named Gertrude. He also realizes Casey was using
him to make Lando jealous.
By this point, Adam wonders if he’s fallen down his own
rabbit hole into the madness that is Hollywood, especially once he discovers
the book has vanished, and Gertrude has a kitty-crush on him, and he’s fallen
for Casey.
Will he make it back to London with the “Alice”… and his
heart…and his sanity intact? Or will he awake and find it was all just a dream
of wonderland? Don't ask the mad hatter; he'll only lie.
