Terri Dawson has been chasing a dream; a dream of becoming an A-list actress to the likes of Viola Davis or Regina King. Though she’s had her share of supporting roles in television and even on the big screen, she’s struggled to achieve that pinnacle of success she’s always wanted. As respectable and Oscar-worthy roles become harder to come by, the industry and in one last ditch effort to salvage what was left of her career, she begrudgingly accepted an offer to become a regular on a hit reality television show based in Atlanta only to be fired after the first season. Wallowing in self-pity and junk food, Terri sells her condo, packs up her car and makes a beeline out of Atlanta to figure out what’s next?

Several years older than he is, Nick doesn’t let something as silly as age get in the way of pursuing this gorgeous woman, convinced that she might just be the one.
