Synopsis
Cass is ready to grow up and get real. Leaving the world of independent "Off Off Broadway" theater, she interviews for a job in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's preservation department. At the job interview, two weeks before Christmas, Cass meets Eric, believes that it's love at first sight and the two spend the day together, talking. Rashly, the decide to drive across the country together on what's ostensibly their second date. It is a mess. After a day of talking nonstop, once on the road, the pair encounter every barrier to intimacy and personal obstacle imaginable -- from ex-s with benefits to old defenses -- and by the time they read Erik's dad's house and Colorado, they'll either never speak again or get married. Which will it be? Do you believe in love at first sight? And if so, then what?
