It's A Short Trip From The Penthouse To The Poorhouse. Life's not so hard when you're a wealthy heiress. In fact for Ava (Haylie Duff) and Tanzie Marchetta (Hilary Duff) it's downright easy. These girls go to the biggest parties wear the most expensive clothes and would attend the opening of a gilded envelope. Their late father's cosmetics company Marchetta Cosmetics keeps them on easy street and the two heiresses never lift a finger leaving the pesky day-to-day chore of actually running the business to their father's best friend Tommy (Brent Spinner). When scandal erupts over one of Marchetta's products the fickle social scene turns its back on the sisters and life suddenly turns tough. The sisters are thrown head-over-Manolo Blahnik's into the uncompromising real world and it's not long before they realise it's time to set down the lipstick put the parties on hold and save the company. In the process the clueless socialites must overcome hurdles such as media invasion angry protests and even riding the bus!
