Gina (Marla Sokoloff)
and Seth (Patrick J. Adams) have been pen pals for thirteen years and over the
years they graduated from handwritten letters and started corresponding by
email, but they were insecure with who they were as people and had decided not
to exchange telephone numbers or photographs, instead they sent photos of their
more outgoing best friends, Ellen (Lindy Booth) and Matt (Jonathan Cherry),
passing them off as themselves without telling either Ellen or Matt.
Each has been there
for the other through every major event that has happened in their lives, and
as such, they have both fallen for the other without either admitting it to
themselves or having the nerve to tell the other.
Living in different
cities - Boston and Denver - they have never even seriously considered meeting
in person, until when Seth, a junior executive at a toy company, is heading to
Boston just before Christmas to attend a toy convention, which Gina, a
struggling reporter stuck in "obits"
So with them both in
Boston they allowed their surrogates to meet in their places with amusing
consequences.
