Fasten your seatbelts for a rollicking ride with more twists and turns than a bowl of pretzels.

L.A.'s historic Bellstone Country Club is famous for its star-studded membership, championship golf course, and glamorous parties.

Here, sexy golfer Mandy Manville is expected to win the club's Women's Golf Championship, which will qualify her to tee it up with legendary golfers in Scotland's Cialis Open. But when ex-college star golfer Jody Benson joins the club, Mandy's beautifully manicured nails become claws as she stops at nothing to keep the newcomer from entering the tournament.

Meanwhile, the Bellstone president's bet on an upcoming heavyweight fight could cause an already struggling club to go bust. Add in a corrupt priest with a free membership, a down-and-out ex-movie star working as a caddy, an LAPD cop on the take, a pregnant stripper on the hunt for her baby's daddy, and you'll find yourself laughing, hooting, booing, cheering, and maybe even taking up golf!

Dreading the desk job that awaits her after high school, eighteen-year-old Vivian Goodyear embarks on an odyssey through Pre-World War II Paris where she supports herself as a figure model and has a fiery affair with a soon-to-be celebrated artist. Flash forward to modern day Manhattan where, inspired by Vivian’s courage, her grand-niece Samantha leaves her dead-end corporate job to work harvest at one of France’s most legendary wine domains. There, between picking grapes in the vineyard and crushing them in the cellar, she gets lessons in the art of making wine and the art of making love. And when long-buried family secrets uproot her plans, a treasured memento from Aunt Vivian’s past could provide the key to Samantha’s future. Set against a backdrop of breathtaking beauty, comes an irresistible tale of two women-- generations apart, but united by strength of spirit, and the power of a beverage to make dreams come true.
