Before and After Love: The Metamorphosis

Saydee Mae James is in love with Love, but it doesn’t seem to like her very much. All she ever received from Love is a broken promise, a broken heart, and a sexually transmitted disease! After a major break up from the creep who infected her, Saydee finds herself hopeless and frustrated. Despondency intoxicates her and allows her into the bed of another woman. It is there, at her rock bottom, that Saydee has an epiphany: she has an extreme fear of loneliness. Saydee discovers that her poor choices in men have been driven by her fear - she would rather have a piece of a man, or even a woman, than be alone. In a twist of fate, Gavin Noel walks into Saydee’s life and alters her plan of living single and celibate. The star-crossed lovers undergo an arduous path toward the altar but to no avail - secrets, lies, and videotape burn their relationship to the ground like Watts after the riots. As old habits die hard, Saydee finds herself running from loneliness, and one commitment away from a rebound relationship with Gavin’s best friend! A blizzard of histrionic events thrust Saydee, once again, face to face with the issue that has bullied her for years. Life traps the fainthearted woman in a headlock where she is forced to deal with her issues once and for all. Saydee will either continue down her lonesome path of destructive relationships, or get it together and emerge from the experience of love lost and fear conquered a changed woman.
