It's My Fair Lady in reverse!

Catherine Eliza Hamilton and her fiance have a bet on. At stake? Catherine's professional future. To win, she needs to pass of a man of her fiance's choosing as a wealthy "blue blood." For just one night.

Sound simple?

It's about as simple as making a silk purse out of a pig's ear. In fact, her fiance takes her to a dive called The Pig's Gut to find the perfect "subject." His name is Joe Tucker he's the handsome ex–baseball player who's hell–raising in the bar.

Now all Catherine has to do is convince Joe that this bet can change his life as well as her own. She also has to convince Joe's twelve–year–old daughter. And keep Joe from treating the whole bet as a joke, with Catherine as the punch line.

And she can't fall in love with Joe .
