After being downsized at his cushy computer job, Steve is in a bad way financially. On the verge of losing it all, by chance, he is approached by a movie producer outside of his home. They want to use his home as a major emotional scene in an upcoming action movie starring super star Shiloh Conners. Steve jumps at the chance before even talking to his wife, Carol, about it. But Steve doesn;t know a vital piece of information …Carol has a past that Steve doesn’t know about. Carol used to be a Hollywood actress but found very little fame. Her biggest success was that she was dating Shiloh Conner at the pinnacle of his career and dumped him at the altar just after his movie tanked at the box office in this guardian angel comedy script.

Shiloh comes roaring back into her life wanting to rekindle what they lost with help from his producer Silvia and Director Jan. Carol has just about had enough when she goes against character and gives everyone a piece of her mind. That is when “Cut” is called from some mysterious place. It sounds just like it should be from the movie set, only this “Cut” comes from out of the ether. As if that wasn’t weird enough it turns out Carol has a guardian angel who is directing her life. He has had to interfere because Carol has gone off script but it isn’t the end of the world! Instead he gives her an opportunity. She gets to make the next three takes of the scene herself to see if she could do a better job.
