A rollicking comic ride and tender journey
though love, sex, and modern romance in
Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. Wilson (Scoot
McNairy), a twenty-nine-year old would-be
screenwriter who has just had the worst year
of his life, is new to Los Angeles, has no date,
no concrete plans and every intention of
locking the doors and forgetting the last year
ever happened.
That is until his best friend, Jacob (Brian
McGuire), browbeats him into posting a
personal ad on Craig’s List. When Vivian
(Sara Simmonds), a strong-willed woman hell
bent on being with the right guy at the stroke
of midnight responds, a chaotic, sometimes
hilarious, sometimes touching journey through
the streets of L.A. begins. In the waning hours
of the year, emotional vulnerability and bitterly
honest humor seem to be waiting around
every corner. Holdridge, delivers his most
mature film to date.
