A comedy about the game of love.

Overview

When Ben Wrightman, a young teacher, begins dating pretty businesswoman Lindsey Meeks, the two don't seem to have a lot of the same interests, but they fall in love, regardless.

Though she tries to understand Ben's passionate team loyalty, eventually it threatens to end their otherwise happy relationship.
