The Assistant

Description

A superstar couple’s double homicide accidentally casts their personal assistant into a real-life Mission Impossible.

Every day without fail Laney Marrs slips on a little black dress, grabs her fake Fendi purse and drives her beat-up Volkswagen to toil for Hollywood elites. As a personal assistant, she’s a therapist, dog walker and toilet bowl cleaner. She puts up with it all by keeping her eye on the prize: selling her first screenplay.

But somehow waking up in a hotel room next to her famous boss isn’t part of the plan. Nor is being accused of his and his wife’s brutal murder hours later.

Resolved to clear her name, Laney discovers a shocking tale. Someone in Tinseltown may be a courier for foreign agents in search of government secrets. Below the pedestal of celebrity culture lies a clandestine operation and conspiracy of national significance. This dutiful underling now learns she’s the lead in her own terrifying thriller—where the stakes are nothing less than worldwide Armageddon.
