Loretta Sage is a depressed middle-aged author who writes romance-adventure novels centered around a fictional hero named Dash, who is portrayed by dimwitted cover model Alan Caprison. While on tour with Alan to promote her new book, Loretta is kidnapped by Abigail Fairfax, an eccentric billionaire who believes that the lost city in Loretta's new book is real and that she knows where it is; Alan, despite having no survival skills, goes off to rescue her.
