In Kalamazoo, Michigan, Jessica Olson and her family prepare for a trip to see Jessica's grandmother in Los Angeles. Jessica's older sister Sara is excited, confident she will be able to find superstar Christopher Wilde, a singer she is obsessed with. As she watches Christopher perform ("Starstruck") on television, she explains that she and her best friend, AJ, have mapped Christopher's actions for the past 18 months. Jessica finds her sister's behavior ridiculous and bets her that Christopher is not as great a person as he seems on TV.
