Synopsis
Evie Malone- gamer girl,
college senior and confirmed virgin- has it all figured out. Not only does she
command a top-ranked guild in Warcraft with her online boyfriend, she also
makes a little cash on the side writing love letters for people who've screwed
up their relationships.
Love is like Warcraft,
after all. It's all about strategies, game plans, and not taking stupid risks.
Well, that's what she thinks... until she
actually falls for a guy. In Real Life. And no amount of gaming expertise will
help her out when she finds herself with a non-virtual, totally real, and
incredibly cute boyfriend, who wants more from her than she's willing to give.
Character Breakdown
EVIE: early to mid
twenties. Evie is smart and creative. She is capable of great charm and is a
natural born leader, as long as she doesn't have to talk to an actual person.
With people she is shy and awkward, but still possesses a quirky magnetism.
KITTY: early to mid
twenties. Kitty is a bit of a hedonist, with a love for parties and men. On the
surface she might seem selfish, but deep down she possesses all the qualities of
a true friend.
RAUL: early to late
twenties. Raul is handsome in a classic sense.
Underneath his fair looks
is kind, sensitive, and loving soul.
RYAN: early to late
twenties. Ryan is the quintessential loner gamer, he is Evie's online boyfriend
and displays a bit of a possessive streak.
MALE ENSEMBLE: early to
late twenties. Good character actor responsible for multiple roles.
FEMALE ENSEMBLE: early to
late twenties. Good character actor responsible for multiple roles.
