Helen Lesnick plays Rachel Rosen who flees New York City after another traumatic breakup with her capricious girlfriend Reggie Abravanel (Michele Greene). Rachel decides to make a fresh start cross country in San Diego. Rachel's parents, Leah and Sam Rosen (Arlene Golonka and Michael Moerman) had retired to San Diego previously and are adamant to see their wayward daughter settle down with a nice girl. Determined to find "Ms. Rightowitz", Rachel goes on several blind dates that misfire badly (Sue Wakefield) & (Kelly Neill). She finally breaks down and lets her mother set her up with Christine Peterson (Erica Shaffer), by all appearances a typical California girl. Much to Rachel's chagrin, she realizes her mother is right about Christine and lo and behold, soon they are loading up the moving van! Rachel's and Christine's relationship continues to develop until a holiday dinner at Rachel's parents house where Rachel hears Christine call Leah "Mom"! Rachel panics. Meanwhile, Rachel's friends and family (Marc DeWhitt, David Radford, Lesnick, and Keith E. Wright) & (Suzanne Westenhoefer) wait for her to screw up the relationship. They know, even if she won't admit it, that she still carries a torch for her ex-girlfriend and they're not sure what would happen if Reggie reappeared to reclaim her. Will Rachel run from another commitment or stick around... -- © Atta Girl Productions [More]
