Storyline:
Thirtysomething Betty Baldwin is risk-averse in her job as actuary and risk analyst, but specifically in matters of the heart; she believes a curse was placed on her when she was a teenager 20 years ago that would bring harm to any boyfriend of hers. The spirit of this curse seems to have rubbed off on her longtime best friend Mya, who faces one disaster after another as she prepares for her wedding to Raul. Betty has a history of pulling away from any boyfriend on the slightest hint of any harm coming to him She believes that the stars have it in for her when she is attracted to her new neighbor Alex, who goes into the world’s danger zones as a photojournalist, and even off the job he’s a risk-taker who wants to live life to the fullest. As they spend more time together, Betty comes to really like him–and to really not want to see any harm come to him. How can the curse be broken?
