Meet Ren. Underachieving actor. Overactive dreamer. Waiting in the wings of love. Centre of his stage is Roxi, the heaven-sent make-up artist on a cat food commercial from hell. A woman, he discovers, who's literally out of his league.
Thwarted in his attempts to win her over in the real world, Ren resorts to reinventing himself for her in the chat rooms of the Internet. And so begins the deception, desperation and brilliant comic confession of one man and his mouse.

Attention from men and women comes flooding in, all wanting to meet the new girl in the chat room, but RoxiNYC is somehow different from the rest. It's not because she is the make-up artist from work whom he can't stop thinking about but because the pair have a special online chemistry that could never work in the flesh. Ren persuades his ex-girlfriend to be NuBiFem's physical presence but the plan backfires when the two become lovers and unfolds a not so much surprising tale but an online Cyrano De Bergerac.
Aside from the difficulty in being romantic on someone else's behalf, Ren discovers the threat of posing as a woman and thus suffers the revenge of the Viagra Snatch Squad, chat room terrorists who've had enough of devious men in their cyberspace. Despite all the romantic notions that love will conquer all, the finale does bring happiness in the most unexpected of ways but gladly doesn't follow the obvious route as it shakes up the classic love story for Internet junkies. --David Trueman
