Plot
Laura (Abby Wathen) is a down-on-her-luck actress whose love life is faring no better and Kevin (Michael Rady) is an up-and-coming screenwriter trapped in a dead-end relationship with ditzy Cyndy (Deja Kreutzberg).
After a particularly awful audition, Laura stops in a coffee shop to wait for a friend, and accidentally spills her drink over Kevin. She apologizes profusely, and they have a moment, but Kevin has to rush out to a big pitch meeting.
Laura's roommate and best friend, LA party girl Mindy (Meghan Markle), tries to help Laura with her love life, also to no avail. After a few days, both Kevin and Laura's thoughts drift towards each other...but in a city the size of Los Angeles, can they ever find each other again?
