Small-town waitress, Alice, (Jessica Biel) is just about to get proposed to by her boyfriend Scott, (James Marsden) when a nail gets accidentally lodged inside her head in a freak accident. Becoming increasingly erratic and unpredictable, Alice hopes that Scott will follow through on his marital intentions, but it s clear that his passions are cooling, rapidly. Determined to get help, Alice heads off to Washington, D.C. where she instantly falls for a dashing, but clueless Congressman, Howard Birdwell (Jake Gyllenhaal), who reluctantly takes up her cause. But what happens when love gets in the way of what you stand for? (Arrow Films)
