A lighthearted fish-out-of-water comedy about a Scottish hairstylist's misadventure chasing glory in Los Angeles, built on charm and comedic mishap rather than depth.

Thinking he's competing in Los Angeles' hot Platinum Scissors contest, Scottish hairstylist Crawford leaves Glasgow with a film crew to capture the event. When he learns he's a mere audience member, Crawford must find a way to become the mane event.
