A Christmas for the Books
This holiday, throw the rules.
Directed by Letia Clouston
Produced by MarVista Entertainment
A lighthearted holiday romance built on a fake-relationship premise, where a self-help expert must confront her own romantic failures while orchestrating a high-stakes event.
Lifestyle guru and romance expert Joanna Moret has developed a foolproof strategy for ending holiday loneliness and it's all detailed in her best-selling book, The Love Audit. After appearing on a morning show, she is offered the biggest opportunity of her career—to throw the MacAllen Holiday Gala—and if all goes well, she'll get her own TV show. Little do her fans—or the MacAllens—know that she is newly single and can't seem to apply her principles to her own love life. Joanna asks the morning show producer, Ted, to pretend they are a couple or risk being exposed as a fraud.
