Kate (Marcil) is a relationship blogger with a Ph. D in psychology. The emphasis of her video blog is about how to survive dating men. It has "man-hater" written all over it. But as the story goes, Kate does not appear to be a man-hater, she appear to be more of a self-hater. We see evidence of this in her choice of men. Her fiance is a low quality person with too many insecurities and strange personality traits, not any woman's type.

Lucas (Sutcliffe) tried to date Kate in high school but he really hurt her feelings one day when him and his raucous friends broke a very valuable keepsake of her mother's when they were fooling around. She has disliked him since then, which has been 20 years going. He steps into the picture as she is having a really bad day, and rescues her from a disastrous situation. This is where the love story begins.

This film is shoddy and Marcil's acting is hit and miss. Her expressions are insincere and she doesn't capture the essence of what she is trying to convey: a quirky, insecure and likable woman. Instead she comes off as weird and awkward.
