Forty-nine-year-old Quinn O'Connor would like to kill her husband for cheating with a younger woman, but the problem is he's already dead. Found at the bottom of a ravine with a blonde, ample-bosomed attorney, her husband has left her with nothing but lies.

When Quinn moves to New Mexico to begin a new life after the humiliating circumstances of her husband's death, her quiet existence is turned upside down when a quirky obsession with actor Sam Maxwell takes hold of her life. In an ill-fated attempt to arrange a personal meeting with him, Quinn becomes an extra on the set of his latest movie being filmed in New Mexico and accidentally tumbles into a water trough-right in front of Maxwell's eyes. When that doesn't work, she and her best friend, Eddy, begin a relentless pursuit of the elusive Maxwell across two continents. Hot flashes or not, the two middle-aged women journey from Hollywood to Paris, facing unexpected roadblocks and tangled identities along the way.

Just as Quinn realizes only she can make herself whole again and gives up chasing Maxwell, he appears and changes the course of her life forever.
