After a series of heartbreaks, Sally Milz - successful script writer for a legendary late-night TV comedy show - has long abandoned the search for love. But when her friend and fellow writer begins to date a glamorous actress, he joins the growing club of interesting but average-looking men who get romantically involved with accomplished, beautiful women. Sally channels her annoyance into a sketch, poking fun at this social rule . The reverse never happens for a woman. Then Sally meets Noah, a pop idol with a reputation for dating models. But this isn t a romantic comedy - it s real life. Would someone like him ever date someone like her?
