Synopsis
Theres a little Paul is us all. Set in hometown, USA, this is the story of Paul, a twenty-something recluse with a secret. Hes people-watcher who lives vicariously through the lives of others. He retreats behind the lens of his trusty video camera, his shield from reality, researching the women of his dreams and using his findings for a series of staged "chance encounters." He learns all about these women, their likes, their dislikes, what makes them tick, and for a fleeting moment, he is everything they've every wanted in a man. Unfortunately, the façade inevitably wears thin, and he is conquered by his lack of self-confidence. He can never take these chance encounters to the next level, or in his own words, phase two. A genuine chance encounter with a free-spirited artist named Esoterica provides the spark that ignites his first passionate relationship. She changes the way he looks at love and life and introduces him to the person he could be, inspiring a new confidence. But just as soon as their fairy-tale romance begins to sizzle, Paul discovers that Esoterica has a secret of her own...
