Actor-turned-filmmaker Seth Packard writes, produces, edits, directs, and stars in this geek-chic comedy concerning a cheerfully clueless teen named Ethan who channels his every ambition into an obsession with a beautiful brunette named Madison Sweet while fending off the advances of his over-affectionate cousin. From where Seth stands, it seems like his overbearing mother and older brother are hell bent on sabotaging his entire life. The only person who seems to understand him is Madison - not the real Madison, but the life-sized cutout of her that's affixed to his closet door. When the situation in Utah becomes unbearable, Seth heads out to California to spend the summer with his cousins. An already complicated situation spirals hopelessly out of control, however, when it becomes unmistakably apparent that Seth's cousin Cleo (Lauren McKnight) wants to be more than just family.
