Twenty-six year old Scot, Julia Douglas, is getting married in a week. The groom, Lorenzo, is on his way. All she has to do is board a plane in Paris and get off the other end. It’s in the bag. But as she opens her limited edition Bottega Veneta bag after take-off, her heart stops. It isn’t hers!  Her bag had the wedding rings in it, while this bag includes a Last Will and Testament and belongs to Miss Eleonore Deschanel, who it would appear is on her way to her father’s funeral in Nice. Julia determines to find Eleonore as fast as she can and restore the bags to their rightful owners. But her mission turns out to be far from simple and even leads Julia to question whether she is marrying the right man.
