Valerie Flake (Susan Traylor, "Heat," "To Die For") is an attractive, embittered woman with a sardonic wit and a purposely aloof manner. She has a sharp sense of humor, but underneath her droll exterior Valerie harbors a lot of pain that she doesn't know how to deal with. Valerie was devastated when her husband died tragically, and she has had trouble coping with the loss--partly because she feels indirectly responsible. Since then, Valerie has drifted through life, working days in a dead-end supermarket job (though previously was a talented painter) and trying to relive her loneliness through a succession of one-night stands. Valerie, desperately needing a change of pace, decides to travel to Palm Springs to visit her late husband's parents. But while there, Valerie unexpectedly makes the acquaintance of Tim, a friendly supermarket manager who has also had a rough time in the romance department--and who seems to have every intention of taking their relationship as far as possible. Valerie Flake boldly shows the transformation of a woman who is slowly beginning to let love back into her life. Also starring Jay Underwood ("Uncle Buck"), Christina Pickles ("The Wedding Singer") and Academy Award nominee Terrence Howard ("Crash," "Iron Man").
