Scarlett Sage needs to follow one of her parents to work for a school essay. However, her dad isn't available and her step-mom, Dava Foxx, is nothing but a gold digger and layabout... or so she thinks! When she brings up the project to Dava, Dava insists that she owns her own business, which is news to Scarlett, and invites her step-daughter to tag along with her. Although Scarlett is skeptical, she follows after Dava as they leave the house.
