This romantic comedy takes a familiar formula and breaks the mold. This story is about love. Love that you can feel right down to the bone even before sex becomes involved. Michael is a talented photographer, working as a security guard, but he also has a major issue in his life. He addicted to porn. The Michael meets the beautiful and sexy Marketing Analysis, Jasmine. Things go well as Jasmine and Michael's romance begins to elevate to the next level, except Michael can't... well... "elevate." Except when he's watching porn. Thus, Michael has to do some serious soul searching in order to prove his love to Jasmine and overcome his obsession. Told with humor, wit, and a visual flair, writer/director David "Sudz" Sutherland creates a film that is funny, on the edge, yet totally accessible. It's simply a story about people in love. Something which we we all can identify. Hill Harper brings humanity to a role of that delves into the soul of a young man who faces the abyss and is better for it. Also strong performances from Marlyne Afflack, as Jasmine, and Kai Soremekun as Peaches.
