Twin sisters London and Madrid La Mira are socialites who are famous simply for being wealthy, young, and beautiful. London parties in San Francisco at her club; she leaves all the work to her manager, Lucinda, while she beds the pretty women who frequent the club. In New York, Madrid goes through men as fast as her sister goes through women, and her life is equally empty. But when the girls' wealthy grandmother tells them that they won't be getting their annual $850,000 checks until they make something of their lives, London and Madrid are faced with the prospect of gainful employment. Hoping to impress their grandmother, they try charitable work and fail miserably. But when Madrid tries her hand at matchmaking and London explores cooking, the sisters find something they'd been missing: fulfillment.
