Archie secretly harbours romantic feelings for his best friend Amelia. Finally mustering the courage, he decides to tell her how he feels. However, just as he thinks things are finally happening, their potential love story is upended with the arrival of the American transfer student Billy Walsh. 

Charming with the good hair, leather jacket and the bad boy motorcycle, of course Amelia falls head over heels for Billy, who’s also not immune to Amelia’s charm. Heartbroken, Archie begins scheming to make sure they don’t get together, but will he end up losing his best friend as a result of his meddling? 

The movie is directed by Alex Sanjiv Pillai from a story created by Alexander J. Farrell and Greer Ellison. Matt Williams and Neil Jones serve as producers.
