Jack, a loyal corporate soldier, suddenly finds himself "downsized" along with the rest of the 24th floor. His boss takes pity on him and suggests he spend the weekend at Glenmara, the family estate, "to clear his head and write a resumé". Holly is told by a professional matchmaker that she is "too hesitant and over cautious" and better off just choosing a man at random. Having nothing to lose, Jack asks Holly -- whom he knows only enough to wave to each day on his way to work -- to Glenmara for the weekend. Holly, who's at the end of her romantic rope, takes her biggest leap of faith ever and says yes. But what at first seems to be a serendipitous beginning for an awkward young couple, turns, through misfortune, mishap and histories of romantic wreckage, into a screwball journey through each stage of a modern relationship. |
