PREDICTABLY SINGLE

PREDICTABLY SINGLE
By Samuel C. Morrison Jr.

GENRE: Romance, Comedy
LOGLINE:

A superstitious businesswoman attributes all of her downfalls to bad luck and an old wives' tale; and with every failed relationship added to her resume, she embraces the fact that she'll be single forever.

SYNOPSIS:

A single, superstitious but successful businesswoman in her mid-30s holds

herself accountable for everything in her life except her relationship

failures; which she attributes to bad luck. At first Toni is content with her

success over love individuality, but when everyone around her is getting

married, she begins to feel something more is needed in her life and time is

running out, so she decides to change her luck. With a new mentality, Toni

meets a promising match, and it seems like her journey to a happily ever

after fairytale is well under way but when Maxwell, her male friend, is

helping her clean, he mistakenly sweeps her feet luring her right back into

her superstitious ways.

With the irrational Toni back in full effect, she remembers an old wives’ tale

that when you sweep a woman’s feet, that woman won’t ever get married.

She rushes home and thinks if she can convince her boyfriend to propose

right away, she won’t be affected by the curse, but he is taken by surprised

and Toni’s pushiness scares him off.

Even though she’s hitting the dating scene, all her negativity makes her

unattractive and the only man that can tolerate her is Maxwell, mainly

because she makes him feel guilty and responsible for her misery and gives

him no other choice. As he nurtures her to sanity, she tries to push away

considering she’s back to her normal state but he doesn’t budge, which

makes her suspicious of his true intentions.

Constant arguments occur between Toni and Maxwell, with him finally

professing his love for her. While Toni has always put her career before her

emotional needs, she’s encouraged to reevaluate her priorities and realizes

that Maxwell can take care of her both financially and emotionally.

Just as she commits to Maxwell, her ex, who’s she’s still secretly in love with,

comes back into her life. Toni feels like she’s always sacrificed her own

happiness and wants to be with the person she’s in love with and chooses her

ex but when he proposes to her, Toni knows that she really loves is Maxwell

and goes all out to prove to him that she is willing to fight for their love.
