Ruby Goldsmith is an international stylist, famed for creating iconic looks for everyone from celebrities to politicians to royal families to CEOs and athletes.  She’s also effervescent, outgoing, genuinely empathetic, and hard-working. Her business card reads “Fairy Godmother,” and that’s exactly how her clients see her.

Oliver French is charming, or dangerous, or unremarkable, or brazen – whatever the job needs.  He’s a fixer, and his clients know him as “The Guy” or “Frenchy” or “That Bastard.” He cleans up after celebrities, politicians, CEOs… you get the picture.  You don’t get a business card.

Now, despite their oh-so-opposite lives, Ruby’s and Oliver’s clienteles have occasionally overlapped.

As did Oliver and Ruby, 18 years ago. Then, they were a strange pair of weirdos who prized the friendship so much they ignored a growing attraction… and just when things might have transitioned, they were separated by a tragic traffic accident. Oliver went to juvie, and Ruby went to uni and became a mega-influencer. They never saw each other again.

Until now.

In St Tropez, Ruby’s busy styling an entire family – the Amqassims, Saudi billionaires – for the wedding of the century. Her work’s cut out for her, especially with a seemingly-reluctant bride and her publicity-hungry mother.

Meanwhile Oliver, freshly released (escaped) from Moscow’s Lefortovo prison, is bent on revenge. Someone from his past arranged his Russian holiday; he’s determined to find out who and why, and extract multiple pounds of flesh in the process.  

His first stop is St Tropez, where he plans to “take a meeting” with a previous client who might know a thing or three. But the Amqassim security detail is tight, professional, and outnumbers Oliver. The odds of success are miniscule, and Oliver knows it.

Until he spots Ruby. Ruby Goldsmith, his former high school friend who abandoned him in his hour of need - is inside the villa. Through binoculars he sees her talking to everyone – especially patriarch Ibrahim Amqassim.  

Ruby has access.

So Oliver arranges a meet-cute – which Ruby sees as the greatest, wildest, most wonderful reconnection of her entire life. And as he hoped, she brings him into this dangerous and shadowy world… without any knowledge of his plans. But what’s a few planted micro-cameras between old friends?

Except Ruby figures out what he’s done. And sorts out, a little, what he’s become in the last 18 years.

And this is when her philosophy of life threatens to derail Oliver’s purpose in life.

See, Ruby believes that Beauty can transform you, and even make you good.

She believes people can change.

Over his protestions, she makes Oliver her next project. If he wants her help, he has some goal-changing to do. And he needs her help, so he agrees – in principle.

So yes.  This is a series about a woman who plans to change a man.

It’s also a series about a man who wants to change… except when he wants revenge more.

After Ruby’s epic red-carpet fail in the pilot (a profound sacrifice, on purpose, to save Oliver), they’re back together, weirdo friends once more.

As a team, driven by Ruby’s philosophy, they can use her access, and Oliver’s vast insider knowledge, for good – mostly. From preventing sales of WMDs, to toppling political dynasties, to helping people trapped by malevolent forces, Ruby and Oliver slowly rebuild a friendship, even as they secretly work around the other when required.

One more thing -  they look fabulous doing it.
