Wall Street Cinderella

THE PRINCE IS A FROG.  Formerly a Puerto Rican street kid, Peter Garza is tired of pretending he’s Perico Tomas de la Garza, a Spanish prince, the face of his designer shoe company. However, his business is about to go public, and Peter will finally be able to end this hated royal charade. What he doesn’t need is bad press from protesters who are picketing in front of his office about the dangers of wearing high heels.

 


CINDERELLA IS A SHARK. As a little girl, Cynthia Sullivan may have entertained ideas of a fairy-tale Prince Charming rescuing her from her life of poverty in the Chicago projects, but today she is a high-powered Wall Street trader known as “The Shark.” What she doesn’t need is to be hobbled by designer shoes thanks to the latest Garza design. She’s not going to stand for it, and she knows how to have her complaints noticed!

 


THE MAGIC KINGDOM is a ramshackle mansion in the Catskills where Peter's fairy godmother...er...fairy godfather is an Elvis impersonator. Elmer Presley works with Peter’s two “evil” step sisters to kidnap the influential Cynthia and prevent her from bad-mouthing the company before their IPO hits the street.

 


CAN FAIRY TALES COME TRUE?  What happens when you toss in the Mafia, a pack of hound dogs, a pumpkin-colored pick-up truck, plus a sexual chemistry that would knock a royal tiara akilter?  A recipe for either love or disaster...or both!
