Crissy Dowling leads a life of luxury and fantasy. She spends her days lounging by the pool in her own private cabana, indulging in ice cream without consequences, and dazzling audiences with her Princess act inspired by the legendary Diana Spencer. Her lifestyle might seem bizarre to some - an American mimicking a British icon, sporting a decades-old hairstyle, and working in a dilapidated casino.

Yet, her fans adore her transformation skills, showering her with admiration and applause night after night.

As she grapples with her own identity crisis, a perilous mix of obsession, high-tech criminals, and family drama unfolds on the infamous Las Vegas strip.
