Rebecca Bloomwood is a sweet and charming New York City girl, but she has a tiny, little problem that is rapidly turning into a big problem.  She is hopelessly addicted to shopping and drowning in a sea of debt. 

While Rebecca has dreams of working for a top fashion magazine, she can’t quite get her foot in the door until she snags a job as an advice columnist for a new financial magazine published by the same company. 

Overnight, her column becomes hugely popular, turning her into an overnight celebrity.  Yet, when her compulsive shopping and growing debt issues threaten to destroy her love life and derail her career, she struggles to keep it all from spiraling out of control and is ultimately forced to reevaluate what is really important in life.
