Totally His

October 2, 2017
Nicholas’s third Opposites Attract contemporary (after Forever Mine) is moving and inspiring. Actress Sophie Birch has always been a pawn in her father’s schemes for financial security. She started acting at a young age after her mother died, has had five stepmothers, and was constantly moved around. She’s up for her biggest role yet when police officer Finn Kelly saves her from her burning theater. Sophie’s dad, who’s a part owner of the theater, steals the insurance money, so Finn and his family help renovate the building, as acting there is Sophie’s only source of income. Despite her distrust of families, she quickly bonds with the boisterous, close-knit clan, which is led by a clever matriarch. Just when she thinks she can finally be a part of a real family, Sophie’s father tries to tear her and Finn apart. Nicholas successfully weaves the two families together while addressing their issues realistically, and Sophie and Finn grow together without sacrificing their own identities. Agent: Elizabeth Winick Rubinstein, McIntosh & Otis.
