How to Get the Girl
When his high school flame returns from her job in the big city, Sweetwater’s golden boy is swept up in a whirlwind as his friends help him try to woo her. But as he realizes what (and who) makes him happy, he’ll have to figure out how to get the girl on his own.
During his shift at his family’s restaurant, The Lazy Beagle, Sweetwater’s golden boy Patrick is swept up in a whirlwind to rekindle his connection with his high school flame with the help of his sister Riley and lifelong friends Audrey & Mason.
Together, this tight-knit group plans an elaborate meet-cute involving a coffee spill right outside Sweetwater Antiques, and another date at the Sweetwater Creamery.
But when Audrey sees Patrick and Ellie on a date at the flower shop where she works, she’s overcome with the loss of a future she’s never been brave enough to admit she wants.
When Patrick realizes Audrey’s feelings for him, it’s up to him alone to make things right with the girl who, for him, has always made Sweetwater golden.
