BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS
The movie kicks off with the history of mahjong in China. We meet Ronni - she is a school nurse and mom, but still makes time to host a longtime mahjong game with her best friends Shelley, Carly, and Melissa. Life is good. But it starts to get complicated - her daughter Savannah is off to college, her ex-husband is insisting that they sell their old house now that Savannah is gone. It's a mess. But at least she has mahjong. She ends up showing up at the school to teach the game at a school event when she meets hot dad, Ben. He ends up taking a chance to play mahjong and has a great time learning the game and learning about life. They end up really hitting it off. But the hits keep coming for Ronni - her job is being reduced to part time. But Ben finds her and asks if she'd be willing to come to his mom's assisted living community to teach mahjong so her mom might make friends. In exchange, he'll do repairs on her house for free. She has a deal!
He shows up for his first day of repairs and they immediately take a break to go eat lunch and get to know each other more and the sparks are flying. He even joins her and her friends for karaoke where they sing Unwritten as if they stole my diary from my last karaoke night. She starts teaching mahjong and comes up with a crazy idea - maybe she can teach more and end up buying her ex's half of the home! She talks to her ex about it and he's like well...you have a month because I need to put an offer on this other home. She starts getting hired to teach at private clubs and community colleges. It's going great. PLUS, she ends up going on a date with Ben! They end back up at her house for some mahjong but they just end up kisssingggggggg. LIFE. IS. GOOD!!!!
After a few successful weeks, she marches into the bank to get a loan. The bank says come back in a year and that should give us enough data to work with, unless you get a long-term contract. When Ben tells her not to give up, she is like THERE'S NO OTHER OPTIONS! They end up making up. Yay!
She heads down to the community center to get her check for the class she taught. They end up offering her a job, non-exclusive, year round work. She takes that contract to the bank and it works! SHE'S PRE-APPROVED! She throws a mahjong party to celebrate. Afterwards, Ben surprises her by showing her that he saved Savannah's birth chart before he painted over it. She's pumped and they kiss some more. And the rest is still unwritten.
