Plot

Chloe Lawrence (Mary-Kate Olsen) is a very driven teenager and the leader of her high school's Model United Nations-team. After performing particularly well in a competition, Chloe's team is selected to attend the International Model United Nations in London, England. But when Randall, one of Chloe's team-mates, is unable to attend due to a family obligation, Chloe's twin sister, Riley (Ashley Olsen), steps in to take his place for the competition (and to get closer to Brian, another of Chloe's team-mates whom Riley happens to have a crush on).

When the group arrives in London, they discover that someone's already representing their usual country: China. Undaunted, they improvise and end up representing the United Kingdom. Plenty of sight-seeing and shopping ensues, during which Chloe falls for James Browning, the son of a wealthy British nobleman named Lord Browning, who's being pressured by his dad to achieve more. As the competition progresses, Chloe's over-competitive nature stalls her budding romance, Riley tries to get closer to Brian, and the team earns both admiration and anger for their unconventional methods. Nevertheless, tribulations are weathered and lessons are learned about sportsmanship, overlooked friends, and enjoying one's youth.
