From one of the headwriters and executive producers of
"Sex and the City" and the director of the Academy Award(r)-winning film, "Walk
the Line," comes a fun and sexy ensemble drama about finding love in the most
unexpected places.
"Finding a good man in today's world isn't as difficult
as some women think. You just have to watch out for the signs. You wouldn't
drive with a blindfold on, but for some reason, women continue to date with
one..." So native New Yorker Marin advises a crowd of her devoted fans. Marin
thinks she has found her good man, fianc? Graham, but discovers, bound for a
speaking engagement in Elmo, Alaska, that he's been cheating on her. Plans for
the wedding come to a screeching halt. Concluding that she really doesn't know
anything about men, Marin resolves to temporarily stay in Elmo, where the ratio
of men to women is ten to one, and get started on her new book - about men.
Marin's subjects are quite a lively bunch. Adorably
affable Patrick, an avid fan of Marin's books, runs the town's only inn and
radio station. Man's man Buzz owns his own airline (one prop plane) that flies
in and out of Elmo. Sophisticated Ben runs the town's only bar and has an
unusual past. Last but definitely not least, strong and silent Jack protects the
environment and comes to protect Marin from a possibly rabid raccoon and,
occasionally, herself.
There are women in Elmo too. Both Theresa, Ben's
estranged wife and a former rock musician, and Sara, the town's "working girl,"
introduce Marin to a whole new way of thinking about men. Mai, Buzz's mail-order
bride who's always wheeling and dealing, and Patrick's mother, Celia, Elmo's
ever watchful police chief, keep Marin on her toes. And of course there's Annie,
Marin's biggest fan, who moves to Elmo after hearing about Marin's break-up to
reassure her -- mostly by quoting the relationship advice she has learned from
Marin's books. Back in NYC, Marin's tough-girl editor, Jane, lends her
long-distance support, and even braves the ice and bad cell phone reception for
the occasional visit.
Marin learns that she has been living with her eyes
closed for too long. Now that they're finally open, she sees the amazingly
beautiful world around her, and for the first time she'll have the chance to
stop and breathe. Now if she could just get the raccoon out of her hotel room,
this place might be perfect.

Relationship expert and author Marin Frist knows what women should look for
and what to avoid when trying to find the perfect man. But like most experts,
she fails to follow her own advice. On the way to a speaking engagement in
Alaska, Marin finds out that her fiancé has been cheating on her. If that wasn't
bad enough, she winds up stranded in a small town filled with what she doesn't
need -- single men. With the support of her friends and publisher back home,
Marin realizes she's been living with a blindfold on, never taking the moment to
stop and breathe.
