Plot Summary

With his glory days long gone, former prominent college football player Sam, after his beloved mother's death of a heart attack and an unfortunate career-ending knee injury, he gradually lets himself swell out to a dangerous weight. Now that funny and sarcastic, yet insecure Sam is trying to make ends meet as a bowling alley attendant, his love life is practically nonexistent, however, in one of those spur-of-the-moment decisions, he will make a bet with his close friends and visit the nearest gym for the ultimate makeover. Soon, like a fish out of water, Sam will meet with his uncommon personal trainer Cassie, a witty bookworm and a heavy smoker, and straight away, a timid friendship will develop, but does charming Cassie know that she is the girl of his dreams? After all, underneath this overweight teddy bear lies something more than a humble and truthful admirer. There, hides her soulmate. Written by Nick Riganas
