'Outgoing. Gorgeous. Enjoy P/T evening work. Good fun! Good pay! This is perfectly legal!' The ad in the Toronto paper sounded just about perfect to Katrina - except for the 'outgoing' part. Desperate to escape a creepy roommate and a scary landlord, she must find some way to supplement her meagre cafe salary so she can flee to a new apartment. Eye-poppingly beautiful but woefully shy, when Katrina is hired as a professional guest (aka PEST) for a company called Life of the Party, her nerves get the best of her. She's saved by a dashing and mysterious stranger who vanishes into the night. With the help of her new-found friend and fellow PEST, Cathy, Katrina tries desperately to find her mystery man. Her search and her life are disrupted by the nefarious affairs of her roommates, landlord, and new boss. Along the way, Katrina learns that she may be shy, but she's certainly no wallflower.
