Mardy Birch's dream of living a movie fantasy is falling apart. Forrest broke up with her last week, but she still hasn't shown any sign of recovery. Not to mention that she's got a cocky, insufferable nerd as a chemistry partner, making non-hostile communication difficult. And if that wasn't enough, she still hasn't picked a college, and graduation is less than two months away. Even with her friends' support, extensive movie collection, and all of the best '80s hits, she still can't seem to get it right. But then, almost as if she really were on the set of a romance film, an unexpected incident brings the arrival of a charming distraction... Could this actually be Mardy's answer? A cliché chance to snag her very own famous happy ending? Well, she's definitely willing to find out.
