Thirty-year-old copywriter Claire Duncan, who is desperately seeking a soulmate, finds her life unexpectedly infused with chaos and romance when she promotes an up-and-coming pop band and becomes involved with the lead guitarist. Original.
Synopsis: Single life is full of questions...imponderables such as: "Is it possible to transform an addiction to reality date shows into a substitute for actual dating?" and "Is scanning demographic lists of available men with nice (read: British-sounding) names and upscale addresses more dignified if one does it in the privacy of one's apartment with a bottle of wine and an equally romance-challenged friend?" Not having all the answers doesn't keep thirty-year-old Claire Duncan up at night. She loves her job as a copywriter at a small Venice Beach advertising and promotion agency - even though it's not making her much money. She loves her hemp drawstring capris - even though they're not getting her any dates. And she loves her mother - who in turn despairs of ever having grand-children. But Claire's comfortable, moderately caffeinated routine gets a double-espresso jolt when she's given the assignment of promoting an up-and-coming pop band. Heartthrob needs a change of image. And lead guitarist Brendan Baker has Claire rethinking her don't-date-the-clients-no-matter-how-hot-they-are rule. His earnest brown-eyed gaze makes her feel like an underwear-throwing groupie.
Which is quite below her, if you ask her co-worker Dennis - whose own revived love life leaves something to be desired, if you ask Claire. Suddenly - and quite accidentally - Claire has become someone to whom cute twenty-something boys (as well as guy pals and ex-boyfriends) are attracted, and everything has become just a tad more complicated than before. Not to mention a hell of a lot more fun...
