Nowhere Girl

A comedy about the
difference between
crazy in love and just crazy

About

Nowhere Girl is a charming, funny and heartfelt story about how falling in
love can be exhilarating but also a bit crazy. After Tyler (Josh Robert
Thompson) meets Katy (Ilana Guralnik) he finally starts to shake off the
lingering effects of a bad break-up and she inspires him to do more and be
more than the life he had settled into.

At first his friends Michelle and Justin (Jennifer Aspen and David O'Donnell)
think this is a wonderful change, but cracks in this new relationship start to
show and they begin thinking it's unhealthy. But just what is "unhealthy"
when it comes to a relationship and just who gets to decide these things?
