Until she accidentally takes the wrong bag at the gym and with no other choice wears the designer shoes and jacket that are in the bag for the day. Sam is pleasantly surprised when she lands business deals, feels more confident, and the attention she gets when wearing the designer items. When the new items can't be returned to their owner will they help solve all of her problems or cause even more?

Nisha is a trophy wife who loves her designer clothing and accessories while spending her time traveling around the world with her uber-wealthy husband. She is cold and doesn't care about anything except status. When she realizes she has Sam's old beat-up shoes and clothes it is just the start of her bad luck, as her husband files for divorce, has shut her out of everything from finances to her passport while she is alone in a foreign country. Will tracking down the shoes be the answers to all of Nisha's problems?
