Monte Carlo whisks you away on a romantic comedy adventure as three friends find themselves in a hilarious case of mistaken identities.

While they decide to play along as wealthy socialites in the glamorous city of Monte Carlo, their adventure is filled with  mishaps and budding romances. With its mix of adventure and romance, Monte Carlo promises a fun-filled escapade that explores friendship, love, self-discovery, cultural experience and the glitz and glamour of the high society, even if just for a moment.

Plot

Grace Bennett, a high school student from Texas, plans a trip to Paris with her best friend, Emma, and her stepsister, Meg. Their vacation quickly turns disappointing due to a subpar hotel and rushed tour. Seeking refuge in a posh hotel, Grace is mistaken for a British heiress, Cordelia, and the girls decide to play along. They enjoy the luxury lifestyle, traveling to Monte Carlo with Cordelia’s luggage. Here, they meet Theo, who initially dislikes them due to Cordelia’s reputation, but is eventually charmed by Grace’s genuine nature. Meanwhile, Emma, disillusioned by a pretentious prince, rekindles her relationship with her boyfriend Owen, who has traveled to Paris to find her.

The charade unravels when Grace’s impersonation is exposed at a charity auction. However, her heartfelt confession wins over the crowd, and the event raises significant funds. Despite Cordelia’s attempts to press charges, the police find no grounds for legal action. The trio parts ways amicably: Meg travels with a new love interest, Riley; Emma returns to Texas and marries Owen; and Grace continues her volunteer work in Romania, where she reunites with Theo.
