Working long into the night for their Machiavellian bosses, a serendipitous meet-cute brings two beleaguered assistants together. There is Harper (Zoey Deutch), who dreams of making it as a writer like her boss, gun sports editor Kirsten Stevens (Lucy Liu, accurately described as having “a fierceness that’s both scary and inspiring”).
And there is Charlie (Glen Powell), who is desperate for a promotion, hoping to impress not only his boss, unscrupulous VC power player Rick Otis (Taye Diggs, revelling in his role as an arrogant jerk) but also his materialistic model girlfriend Suze (actual Victoria’s Secret model Joan Smalls).
