When Elektra is discovered by an acting agent, she imagines Oscar glory can’t be far away, but instead lurches from one disaster to the next. Just how many times can you be rejected for the part of “Dead Girl Number Three” without losing hope? Backstage things aren’t going well either – she’s fallen out with her best friend, remains firmly in the friend-zone with her crush and her parents are driving her crazy.
Can an average girl-next-door like Elektra really make it in the world of luvvies and starlets? Will she ever get the call back for the part of her dreams?
