Plot

Tim Wainwright is almost 30 years old. He wants to find a nice girl, so he puts an ad in the LA Reader. He is disappointed by the many unsatisfactory responses. He's just about ready to give up when he gets a reply from Nancy, who seems to be a nice girl. Tim is a man with little ambition. Nancy works a dead end job and takes college classes for fun without intent to graduate. Each exaggerates their job to impress the other: she claims to be a professor; he claims to be an entrepreneur. When the truth reveals itself, they scramble to preserve their relationship.
