KISS
THE BRIDE
SYNOPSIS
When Matt receives an invitation to high school best
friend Ryan's wedding he's surprised - especially that Ryan is marrying
a woman! Matt plans to rescue his former love from whatever "she-devil"
has trapped him into this huge mistake.
On the other hand, Ryan's perky fiancé Alex takes quite the
liking to Matt. Is she very cunning, disarmingly ditzy, completely
adorable - or all three? As Matt tries to rekindle the old flame, Ryan
is intent on putting out any sparks. Ryan dismisses their old romance
as just a high school thing, but Matt realizes Ryan may still be the
love of his life. All the while, Matt must deal with "his new best
friend" Alex, the two families, and a hometown he thought he'd left
entirely in the past.
"Kiss the Bride" is a sexy, fun, romantic comedy, proving the
boundaries of love, sexuality and identity are never constant.

An only child raised by a tough-talking single mother, fifteen-year-old
Riley has always stood out. A math genius fascinated by the
universe, Riley has developed a groundbreaking new way to accurately
predict the frequency of dangerous solar flares. Soon he
discovers that a huge solar storm is hours away from frying the earth's
power grid. With the help of his professor, the no-nonsense Dr.
Clark, he sets out on a race against time to convince the world to
prepare for the worst before it's too late.
But things take a darker turn when Marshall Pryor, the head of a
powerful corporation, learns of Riley's prediction. Pryor thinks
the coming global disaster could be a huge moneymaking opportunity,
especially if it comes without warning. Dr. Clark's
discovery of this terrifying plan instantly makes her and Riley the
newest targets of Pryor's murderous wrath. Narrowly escaping
Pryor and his henchmen, they decide their only hope is to deliver a
warning directly to the White House.
As the huge solar storm enters its final stage, Riley and Dr. Clark
have one last chance to stop the disaster--if they can survive long
enough to convince the most powerful man in the world to act.
