But a year after a misogynistic producer torpedoed her screenwriting career, she's stuck running errands for her eccentric boss-slash-mentor. When he offers her the chance to finish the fantasy franchise that made him a household name--\u003ci\u003eMagician's Gambit\u003c\/i\u003e--she jumps at the opportunity to get her career back on track.

As the assistant to one of LA's most powerful (and terrifying) talent managers, he's Living the Dream--aka barely keeping his anxiety in check while juggling hyper-specific coffee orders and overinflated egos. But it's worth it for the opportunity to one day make the kind of movies his dad raised him on, movies like \u003ci\u003eMagician's Gambit\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt's the perfect match to save both their careers.
