Ben and Rosie are Hollywood’s newest director/producer
dream team. After hitting it big at Sundance, it seems
that their ten years of love and hard work are finally
paying off. Rosie is happy making independent films, but
Ben wants the A-List celebrity package: a house in
Beverly Hills, fancy cars in the driveway, and his name
on the biggest blockbusters. He’s willing to do anything,
even sleep with the most famous producer in town, to get
them.
Rosie is devastated by Ben’s affair, and she decides to
take a break from show business. She accepts her best
friend's invitation to spend the summer at her parents'
estate in Montecito. It's far away from L.A., the perfect
place to start over.
In Montecito, Rosie meets a colorful cast of characters
including Rachel, who owns a chocolate store, and Josh, a
handsome local who splits his time between surfing and
classic cars. Suddenly Rosie has new friends and a new
purpose. She starts a business in the village, and her
luck seems to be turning around. But Rosie knows all too
well that success comes with a price, and the price might
be losing love...again.
California Summer is a touching and romantic story about
following your dreams but not letting them get in the way
of love.
