Allie Evans (Danika McKellar) lives with her two siblings, Lisa (Rose Neville) and Aaron (Rollo Skinner) in a small apartment. Since losing their parents, they have been on their own and sometimes money gets tight.
Allie and Lisa work as maids at a big New York City Hotel. On one particular day, Lisa was messaged that she has gotten an audition, one that she had been hoping for. However, she needed to be at the audition in an hour; the middle of her work day. Allie knowing how important this was to Lisa, tells her to go, and she would cover the rooms herself.
Allie's didn't anticipate that one particular room looked like it had three parties in it the night before and knew this was going to be a challenge. She begins working quickly; however, her superior, who is waiting for the room to be finished, sees that Allie is by herself, so she fires Allie and her sister.....and it's right before Christmas. As Allie leaves upset and frustrated, she hands her superior a watch that was left in the room. There's a man standing outside of the door who overhears their conversation and is impressed by Allie's actions.
The man, Fergus (Pavel Douglas) happens to work for a King. King Maximillian (Rupert Penry-Jones) is a widowed father of a rebellious 10-year old girl. He has been having difficulty keeping a Governess, because of his daughter's challenging behavior. Fergus decides to pursue finding Allie and after checking her background, offers her the job. It pays so well, it will help Allie's family, so she accepts the offer.
Allie is flown to Europe and is introduced to some unwelcoming servants in the castle, but finds others who are genuinely kind. She has no problem speaking her mind which sometimes gets her in trouble, but the King secretly is finding it most refreshing.
As the weeks go on, Allie is put to the challenge with Princess Theodora (Ellie Botterill), but manages to outsmart her every time. After awhile Theodora becomes attached to Allie, and so does the King.
I'll stop there, hoping you'll watch this entertaining flick that's a bit of a "Cinderella-type" tale; however, it's really about being true to yourself. What kind of happy ending will there be?
