Synopsis A middle-aged stand-in on the movie set of the "The Perfect Storm" has encounters with George Clooney, but she can't bring herself to speak to him. She does speak to another George, her imaginary husband from childhood. The story ricochets between the movie set and the heroine's fantasy life. As filming progresses, contact with both Georges becomes problematic, and our heroine, with only humor and imagination for weapons, battles her aging identity.
