Violet is not impressed with her TV director dad: he's decided to abandon his family in Vancouver to start over with a new younger wife in LA.

To Violet, it's like he's traded his old life for a better one - complete with new and improved children.

To make matters worse, her mom has taken up with a dorky new man called Dudley Wiener.

Violet decides to take control. She needs a new stepfather who is perfect, charming and will show Dad what he's missing: she needs George Clooney, Hollywood superstar.
