The “King and Queen of Hollywood Romance" are forced to become characters in the two worst movies they ever wrote in order to save everyone they love.

SYNOPSIS:

Sam and Pam Monroe were the true “King and Queen of Hollywood Romance”. They mastered the art of creating stories of love for the silver screen as no one ever had.

That's was before the marital bliss and creative minds of the Monroes both took a downward spiral. Battered by the “slings and arrows” of several recent Hollywood flops , the Monroes also start to find some of those arrows puncturing what, the public believed, to be their “picture perfect” marriage.

The Monroes believe their fall from Hollywood grace has begun to reverse itself when chosen to work with temperamentally-challenged director Manfred Von Wilhelm. Pam and Sam are given just the project they need to begin their climb to scripted success once again. That's before their tempers, combined with Von Wilhelm's arrogance, create a scenario which dashes any hopes for Sam and Pam's “Tinsel Town” redemption.

Von Wilhelm states quite viciously that a scene the couple present to him is indicative of what the industry and public have known for some time: that the couple is through. They have no talent left and, judging from the growing rumors, their writing is as bad as their failing marriage. One good blow by Pam to Von Wilhelm's face is the last straw for Von Wilhelm and the studio.

With their careers quickly sinking into the toilet, Pam realizes that Sam is not the man she married. In an unwise choice of location, Pam announces she wants a divorce while Sam's driving. A resulting accident by her shocked husband puts them both in comas with quite unexpected results.

A surreal Von Wilhelm ushers the Monroes into two of the worst movies they ever wrote before finding each other. Playing characters out of young Sam's horrible slasher “A Cut Above 2” and from young Pam's gothic romance disaster “Purgatory's Passions”, the two become characters who, originally, were scripted for unpleasant deaths in the two movies. Sam and Pam unwittingly make decisions in the two screenplays which alter the stories as written and their characters survive.

The estranged couple survive those flops only to have to rewrite the most important scene of their lives. While trying to survive the nightmare their comas have put them in, those closest to Sam and Pam in the real world are not having any easy go of it. Long-time friend / stunt-woman Iroquois Obst takes on the responsibility of helping the Monroe's grandkids, Phyl and Will Monroe, see their way through their grandparents hospitalizations. Sam and Pam lost their son and his wife after Will and Phyl were born. They willingly became the beloved caretakers of Will and Phyl, the kids last hopes for decent lives.

Now the comatose Sam and Pam confront a scene neither ever would want to conceive .Their own comatose bodies are about to expire. One has the chance of living. They have to choose which one it will be. Three minutes to decide how they will finish this scene and end one of their lives forever.

Von Wilhelm gives the indecisive Sam and Pam an additional dire warning. If they don't create the correct ending, previous events leading up to their wrong final ending will include the deaths of Iroquois, Phyl and Will. As the minutes tick away, Sam and Pam will lose everything if they're not more creative than they've ever been before.

An accident in the operating room shows Sam that life without Pam isn't worth living. Pam realizes the same. They decide that both will die ala “Romeo and Juliet”. By making that decision, Sam and Pam prove their love for each other is still very much alive. They've rewritten the “script” which will now be their lives. Iroquois, Will and Phyl don't die and Sam and Pam avoid the wreck which put them in comas. They then pen the most important words of their careers: “they all lived happily ever after.”
