For Andrea Lieberman, life began at 26. Growing up with parents so
protective they made a convent seem like a Sandal’s resort, she developed a
catalog of phobias so large, even going into a church seemed risky business.
Finally, Andrea had had enough; she wanted to live rather than fear dying.
Without hesitation, she accepts a photography assignment for a magazine
traveling through England and packs up her camera, her pepper spray and every
insecurity she accumulated since birth. Excited but petrified to reveal the news
to her boyfriend, he intercepts with news of his own – a marriage proposal,
leaving the lingering question of their impending nuptials as she travels
abroad.
Upon touching down in England, Andrea flops around like a fish out of water. The magazine’s staff – the idiot, the slut, and the mute – offer little comfort outside of a pint of beer until she’s assigned two blokes as travel companions – a tight-arsed copywriter and a drop-dead gorgeous art director with movie star charm. These two men help Andrea push herself beyond her comfort zone while testing the limits of her fortitude and her relationship with her boyfriend. The photographic journey becomes a comedy of errors thanks to unforeseen obstacles at every turn. As Andrea struggles to complete the assignment, she discovers the most revealing picture she develops will be of herself.
