FOR THE FIRST TIME

FOR THE FIRST TIME
By Rue Saavage

GENRE: Romance, Other
LOGLINE:

A story about a woman named Brie, who uses fake personas to avoid real intimacy and must choose between her disapproving family and authentic love when she falls for woman, Alex, for the first time.

SYNOPSIS:

Brie Davidson has perfected the art of being nobody. An event coordinator by day, she spends her nights cycling through men using fake names and fabricated lives: Jessica the flight attendant, Amber the graphic designer, Emma the nurse. It's safer than risking real connection, easier than being rejected for who she really is. But when she meets Alex Martinez, a confident journalist, at a wedding she's coordinating, something shifts. For the first time in years, Brie gives her real name. As they fall for each other, Brie discovers what it means to be truly seen. Alex makes her want to shed the personas and be authentic. There's just one problem: Brie comes from a conservative Christian family who would never accept her dating a woman. Despite promising Alex she's told her parents, Brie keeps lying, unable to face the inevitable rejection. When Alex plans a surprise party to celebrate Brie's career success and innocently invites her family, Brie's carefully constructed worlds collide catastrophically. Confronted by her horrified parents and a devastated Alex who realizes she's been lied to all along, Brie must finally choose: the conditional love of her family or the terrifying freedom of being herself. In a desperate run through the rain, Brie races to tell Alex the truth, that she stood up to her family, that she chose love over fear, and that for the first time in her life, she's done hiding.
