Long synopsis:
Sam Davies has always wanted to be an actor. Upon graduating from
acting school, he decides to cold call casting directors, hoping to get
his big break. Unluckily for Sam, auditions are hard to come by for
freelancers, so he becomes his own agent.
Lana has always been a quiet, hardworking employee at Brad Price
Advertising. When Mia Boyce joins the firm, she finds her world
turning upside down. Overlooked and under appreciated, Lana
and her two best friends, Kym and Dave, work together to get their
professional lives back on track after Mia gets nominated for
Advertising’s Woman of the Year.
Lana and Sam’s lives begin to merge after they match on ‘Love Kicko’,
the new hit new dating app. Instant attraction versus awkward first
dates, countless misunderstandings and cultural collision.
When the lead actor for Brad Price Advertising’s newest Super Cho
Chockette campaign falls ill, will Sam save the day?
Meanwhile, Kym reflects on her life choices and tries to pause her
biological clock. When Valentine’s Day arrives she seizes the
opportunity to give Brad Price a Valentine’s Day card with a
cryptic message inside. But will he be able to decode her
message and reciprocate her feelings?
Or will she end up having a baby all on her own?
“Sometimes life doesn’t go according to a script!”
Family. Love. Life.
