When Jessie Sutherland, an opinion writer for 'Angel Weekly', suffers a few personal and romantic setbacks, her self-esteem takes a nosedive. In an effort to kick-start her life, she accepts an assignment vaguely described as 'a makeover piece set in an exotic location.' In REAL LIFE, Jessie finds herself on a crazy adventure in the Australian rainforest with a quirky all-male crew and her gorgeous (and conceited) co-worker, Grant Davidson. Jessie is confronted with challenging (and wacky) situations and must come to terms with her fears and weaknesses as she faces each of them head-on. Along the way, Jessie realizes that she is a strong and independent woman whose perception isn't absolute and that love can happen if she'll just get out of its way.
