Logline: Still lost after a breakup two years earlier, a Jack finally finds Emily, the woman of his dreams. She turns his life around until an intervention by friends and family forces him to realize that she is exactly that… a woman who exists only in his dreams. While Jack seeks answers through therapy, his friends discover that Emily does exist and decide to give destiny a little hand.

Synopsis: Jack, a lackluster actor, plays a judge on a successful television daytime drama. He has been unable to emotionally recover from his divorce two years earlier. After countless failed matchmaking attempts for the commitment challenged Jack, friends volunteer one of their own to guide Jack gently into the world of same-sex possibilities. Not being gay, Jack sweetly declines the unusual offer, it’s clearly a wake-up call for changes in his life. That’s when,  in pure television style, he finds himself stuck on an elevator with Emily, a freelance interior designer from out of town.  Through their whirlwind romance, Emily provides the inspiration Jack needed to redesign his home, his career, and his life.

Jack’s friends become suspicious of his sudden changes and his poor excuses for them not having met Emily. Still believing he may be gay, they stage an intervention in an attempt to force Jack out-of-the-closet. When Jack tries to ease their concerns with an introduction to Emily, he can find no evidence of her existence and must accept that she and their relationship happened only in his dreams. While Jack seeks understanding through therapy, his friends stumble upon clues that lead them to believe Emily may in fact be real, and set out to help Jack meet his Emily.
