Plot
Lara Tyler (Alice Eve) is one of the most famous movie stars around, but all she wants to do is marry her fiance, writer James Aubrey (David Tennant). Besieged by paparazzo (especially Marco Ballani (Federico Castelluccio), who is obsessed with Lara), they escape to the tiny Scottish island of Hegg to try to wed in peace. However when the paparazzo tracks them down, and with the locals smelling a payday, Lara becomes upset and runs away. In desperation her management team (led by Steve Korbitz (Michael Urie)) decide to stage a fake wedding, hoping the paparazzo will fall for the scam and leave the island. Local girl Katie (Kelly MacDonald), who is nursing a broken heart, is recruited to pretend to be Lara. But is James really sure Lara is his true love?
