As a ratings gimmick, radio talk host Sandy Latham (Elizabeth Ashley) invites her listeners to volunteer as her daughter Claire's prom date. It is the latest in a long series of public humiliations for Claire (Melissa Joan Hart), who has spent her life as a pawn in her selfish mother's rise to fame. Hired as Sandy's personal assistant, Monica (Roma Downey) teams with the radio star's on-air sidekick--who happens to be Tess (Della Reese)--to repair the relationship between mother and daughter. But it may be too late: The resentful Claire has gotten mixed up with a bootleg-CD scam in order to earn enough money to leave home for keeps! Future film star Jack Black appears in a key supporting role.
