An aspiring film producer who recently graduated college manages to acquire a highly sought-after position as a junior assistant to a man who has a lot of power in the entertainment industry.
At first, Jane experiences the same everyday grind that entry-level workers in most industries must go through before they can gain a higher position: She answers calls, takes messages, schedules appointments and travel, makes copies and orders lunches. She even handles onboarding of new hires.
