Synopsis: Andy, a bright but inexperienced graduate who wants to be a journalist, lands a job as second assistant to Miranda Priestly, the high-powered editor of major fashion magazine 'Runway'. Since Andy knows nothing about fashion and Miranda is extremely demanding, they initially clash. Andy grows into the job, though, and starts to become a slave to her desk, clothes-obsessed and neglecting her friends and family. Eventually she must decide whether to leave the job or risk becoming like Miranda.
