Adulation — Elisa Lorello

Celebrity screenwriter Danny Masters has the world at his feet. He's dating a movie-star bombshell and his latest screenplay is a shoe-in for an Oscar. But he's empty.

With few accomplishments to her credit, longtime bookstore employee Sunny Smith celebrates her fortieth birthday by setting forty goals for herself. Sleeping with her writing idol, Danny Masters, makes the list.

At the premiere of Danny's new film, the two have a brief but enchanting exchange outside the theater. And after Danny insults the audience during the post-screening Q&A session, he's thrilled to see Sunny in his autograph line. But as he gently takes her hand, Sunny spits Danny's insults back at him.

The next day, to her horror, Sunny discovers a video of her tirade has gone viral. Instead of being angry, Danny is more determined than ever to find Sunny -- and apologize. And once their lives intersect again, there'll be no turning back.
