Synopsis
Kat Ellis, a New-York-based service rep for Virgin Atlantic, must return to her parents' London home for her little sister's wedding. The best man is none other than her ex-fiancé, who, two years before, inexplicably dumped her. In a desperate attempt to face the ordeal with dignity, Kat cashes in her 401K and hires Nick, a top-drawer male escort, to pose as her new boyfriend at the wedding. Even more valuable to Kat than Nick's good looks and charisma is that he is a veritable expert on human behavior. But after Kat finally unearths a dark secret from the past, she discovers that what began as a pretend relationship with Nick has turned into something entirely unexpected: a second chance at love. Something borrowed has become something true. - Gold Circle Films
