Four days before... Frankie (Ione Skye) is a San Francisco waitress who convinces her best friend (Jennifer Aniston) to move to Los Angeles to pursue acting careers and find their Prince Charmings. Four days before they are due to leave, Frankie meets David (Mackenzie Astin), the man of her dreams--who also happens to have a live-in girlfriend. An insomniac since the death of her parents at age six, Frankie is determined to help David with his writer's block. And if she can help it, she will also convince him that he's the love of her life.
