Chris Brander has it all money,
good looks and a flashy job as an LA music executive.
But back in high school in New Jersey in the 1990’s,
Chris was shy, overweight and the butt of the cool
crowd’s jokes. The only bright spot in his
life was his friendship with Jamie Palamino a super-popular
cheerleader. But Chris was harboring a secret he
was hopelessly in love with his best friend.
On the night of their high school graduation, Chris
finally works up his courage and makes his feelings
known. In response, a surprised Jamie proceeds to
give him the “Just Friends”
speech. Enraged and humiliated, Chris declares himself
no longer friends with Jamie and storms off. Ten
years later, Chris has reinvented himself as a smooth
talking lady killer, living large in Los Angeles.
Chris’s boss, KC, has just given him his most
challenging job assignment yet turning spoiled socialite,
diva and magazine pin up girl Samantha James into
a pop singing sensation.
The well known fact that Chris and Sam used to date,
and that she still carries a torch for him, makes
it all the more hellish. The less than talented
Sam doesn’t feel she can “create”
unless Chris whisks her off to Paris. En route,
a plane malfunction causes them to make an unexpected
pit-stop in New Jersey the first time Chris has
been back in 10 years. Chris’ plans to only
stay the night are detoured when he runs into Jamie
working at the local bar. Suddenly faced with the
chance to undo the past and “seal
the deal” with the “just
friends” girl of his dreams, Chris
finds himself postponing Paris.
This sets off a chain of events in which Chris tries
to woo Jamie, all the while distracting the suspicious
Samantha. Unbelievably, Chris is finding it more
difficult to romance Jamie than it was 10 years
ago. Can one escape the clutches of the ‘friend
zone?’ Is it possible to go from ‘just
friend’ to boyfriend? Chris is about
to find out the hard way. |
