✦ Synopsis

Boy Mugs Girl, Girl Outsmarts Boy, Boy and Girl Go Out for Coffee?

In this sweet frolicking romp, two unlikely friends meet under crazy and heart-pounding circumstances. Zack Daniels is a 20 something trouble-maker trying to find his place in the world. When he mugs Lauren in a last ditch effort to get a ticket out of town, he gets more than he bargained for. He takes a midnight train going anywhere...but home.

Lauren Beckers is a 22 year old Southern girl trying to make a go of it in the big city. She's never met a stranger, but she's also a magnet for trouble. Thank goodness for her fast-talking smooth tongue and her trusty "insurance". She takes a midnight train going anywhere...but home.

When the two meet as a result of a crime gone bad, they discover a kinship that goes beyond the normal trappings of the Millennial generation. They discover friendship, trust and something even more unbelievable to find in the dirty underbelly of a broken-down city: love.

What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Zack and Lauren each have their own reasons for not wanting to go home. After spending a few hours of free time together the night they met, they return to the difficulties that run their lives. Zack suffers from debilitating headaches and panic attacks brought on by PTSD. Lauren is trying and failing to break up with her mooching boyfriend.

Can They Beat the Odds and Find Romance?

Zack and Lauren have to overcome their own weaknesses and inadequacies if they want to survive as a couple, and make it as individuals. If he can just get enough money, Zack can get treatment for his disorder. If Lauren can outsmart her boyfriend, she can get out from under his crushing possessiveness.

When it Hits the Fan

Soft-spoken but brawny Zack has realized that Lauren might just be the solution to his problems. The only issue is that she seems to be the target for every low life stalking the streets of Detroit. When she faces the worst betrayal, he’s left to pick up the pieces or pursue his own chance at healing.
