They are best friends - Julia and Mattie - who escape dreary suburban lives for the streets of London, a city that promises to fulfill all their dreams of glamour, fame, and love. After a night spent huddled in front of the Savoy Hotel, they begin their great adventure, dancing the night away in smoky Soho clubs, crashing parties and gallery openings, and meeting men who weill teach them their power - and frailties - as women.
