Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

A San Francisco musician pursues the love of his life while teaching an actor how to play guitar for an upcoming role in this romantic comedy from director Dave Boyle (White on Rice). Goh Nakamura (himself) divides his time between playing gigs for paltry cash, and teaching guitar to aspiring musicians. His life is uneventful and he usually lives paycheck to paycheck, so when TV actor Danny Turner (Chadd Stoops) needs someone to help transform him into a convincing musician, Goh accepts the challenge. But somewhere between teaching Danny how to carry a tune and experiencing the wild life on the West Coast, Goh reconnects with his high school girlfriend Rachel (Lynn Chen), and realizes that he's still in love with her. Now it seems that Danny isn't the only one who will learn something on this trip, because perhaps with a little help from his new friend, Goh will find the courage to prevent love from slipping through his fingers once again.
