 Edward is a rich, ruthless businessman who specializes in taking over companies and then selling them off piece by piece. He travels to Los Angeles for a business trip and decides to hire a prostitute. They take a liking to each other and he offers her money if she ll stay with him for an entire week while he makes the "rich and famous" scene (since it doesn t do for a man of his stature to be alone at society parties and polo matches). Romantic comedy (and complications) ensue.
