SYNOPSIS

Terminally unemployed, dating challenged Rebecca, (Marin Ireland) thinks she’s scored her big break on Broadway by landing a job with infamous Ian. (Richard Kind) Instead of a dream job, Rebecca finds herself scrubbing floors while listening to vapid starlet Simone (Kelli Giddish) complain about her perfect life. Fed up, one day she “accidentally” shoves Simone over a balcony — suddenly a star is born as Rebecca moves from Understudy to Star! Everything is perfect until an even bigger Diva is brought in, The Great Greta (Gloria Reuben). What to do? Kill your way to the top…
