Having lost her job, flat and boyfriend within two weeks time,
Alice Lewis decides to move from London to L.A. after reconnecting
with an old friend, Tash. Before Alice and Tash leave for L.A.,
however, they celebrate their upcoming move in a London pub. At
this pub, and unbeknownst to Alice, she captures the attention of
an Irish director, Patrick Wilde aka Paddy. That night Patrick discovers
Alice's plans to move and decides to follow her out to L.A.
Through the help of Tash, Alice quickly secures a position in L.A.
at Star PR as a publicist to the stars. While Tash and Alice are
living together, Alice starts receiving romantic notes and presents
and starts to believe that she has a secret admirer. Meanwhile,
having caught Patrick snooping around their house, Tash is convinced
that Alice is being stalked by a dangerous man.
Patrick unexpectedly runs into Alice one day and she quickly falls
in love with him after they share a meal. Alice and Patrick keep
meeting again and again; they move in some of the same social circles.
But, just when Alice thinks she will never hear from Patrick, he
calls her and asks her out for dinner. Dinner leads to dating and
both Alice and Patrick are quickly enamored with each other. Caught
up in her new romance, however, Alice makes a terrible mistake at
work that almost results in her dismissal.
One night, when Patrick is supposed to come over for a date with
Alice, Tash opens the door, and, recognizing him from his snooping,
she threatens to call the cops on him if he doesn't leave immediately.
Tash tells Alice that Patrick is definately the stalker, and before
Alice can sort everything out between her and Patrick, she has to
fly to NYC on a business trip. In NYC, Alice soon realizes she is
fed up with her job and quits. Depressed, Alice walks to Central
Park to collect herself and is approached by Patrick. After tracking
Alice down, Patrick confesses his love for her and asks her to move
to London with him, and, she accepts.
