Sedona Charm, a third-generation fortune teller who believes the “gift” has skipped a generation. She is awful at her job, about to turn 30, and is tired of sitting home alone each night reading romance novels. She is ready to give up this unfulfilling life and move to LA with her cousin to open a dog bakery.

Until the would-be man of her dreams walks into her shop by mistake. Sedona seizes on the opportunity and offers him a free reading. The man humors her though clearly a non-believer. Sedona tells him he is about to meet the woman of his dreams and she goes into detail exactly how that meeting will happen. The man, amused, thanks her and leaves. When he meets a fascinating new woman moments after leaving Sedona’s shop, in exactly the manner Sedona had described, he instantly becomes a believer and thinks he has just met his soul mate.

Sedona is disappointed that her plan backfired so spectacularly. She hatches a new plan to convince the man that this new mysterious woman is not the woman she had “envisioned.”

Sedona’s mother, Agatha, a gifted seer in her own right, is hatching a plan of her own.

Sedona’s target, Mr. Chase Random of Los Angeles, quickly tires of his new “soul mate” and decides she isn’t Miss Right after all.

A chance meeting at the dinner party of a mutual acquaintance, orchestrated by Agatha, brings Sedona and Chase together.

Sedona feels guilty for trying to manipulate Chase into liking her. She is falling for him but her guilt stabs her in the belly every time she sees him. While having dinner with her mother, Sedona tells her she’s going to come clean to Chase. Agatha warns her to leave well enough alone. At the table behind them, Chase’s business partner hears the whole sordid tale and fills Chase in on what had happened. Chase is furious. He confronts Sedona and Sedona tries to explain the unexplainable. Chase says he never wants to see her again.

Chase, however, cannot seem to get Sedona out of his mind. He sees her everywhere he goes.

Agatha has seen enough and decides to take matters into her own hands. She believes in her daughter’s gift even if Sedona does not. And she believes Chase is the man for Sedona. Agatha confronts Chase at a restaurant. Chase puts up a defiant front yet secretly wants to hear about Sedona. Agatha takes him through the reading Sedona had given him the day the two met. Step by step every step describing precisely the method in which he and Sedona had met. After an effective demonstration of her gift of second sight, she leaves Chase to ponder.

Chase knows in his heart that Sedona is the one. To win her back, he takes over Sedona’s old shop and converts it into the Dog Bakery she’d dreamed of opening.

They meet on the outside deck of a restaurant in full view of the Red Rocks. He professes his love, and they kiss.

Hi everybody, My name is Mike Egenolf. I’m little late getting started because I was down with Covid this past week but am feeling better. I have written a dozen scripts, several novels, and I have three published sports books. Over the last two years I have had two scripts finish as finalists in screenplay contests. I am taking this course to refocus before rewriting one of those scripts that was recommended to Hallmark. Something unusual??? I am actually the only person in the US with the full name Michael Egenolf. My son’s name Ian Michael Egenolf is also unique in the US. Looking forward to diving in!
