ASIAN PERSUASION LOGLINE
A down-on-his-luck chef finds out he could not afford the alimony and child support from a poorly negotiated divorce settlement. Having his ex-wife remarry is the only solution in sight.
ASIAN PERSUASION SYNOPSIS
A frustrated chef, Mickey, is finally divorced from his successful fashion executive wife, Avery, of 15 years.
Following a poorly negotiated divorce settlement, he is saddled with alimony payments that he simply cannot afford. To avoid paying, he comes up with a convoluted scheme, with the help of his best friend Caspian, to get Avery remarried by creating a fake online dating profile for her. He finds Lee, a potential suitor from the dating site, and coaches Lee on how to make Avery fall for him.
Everything goes smoothly until Mickey's plot backfires on him. He rushes to clean up his act to win Avery back. He might be too late.
