The Perfect Catch: What Is It About?

Set in the fictitious town of Park Falls, the Hallmark movie introduces us to Jessica Parker, a cute single mother who is raising her son, Wesley. Long hours at the diner, where she serves up some of the locals’ finest, is hard on the hardworking mom. All she wants is the chance to relaunch the family business. Jessica inherited the old diner from her grandpa, the man who started the legacy. But changing times and problems with money threaten to shut down the business if they don’t revive it fast.

Jessica has her heart set on relaunching the diner with a trendy food truck. It’s a new way that she can create a buzz and invest in her future. However, her boyfriend, Brett, a dependable insurance agent type, is not buying her idea. They need to stick with what works. Starting a business is too risky.

Brett doesn’t know it, but his reaction doesn’t set well with Jessica. And his lack of support will come back to haunt him. Meanwhile, Jessica is working at the diner when she bumps into Chase Taynor, her former high school flame. Chase is just as shocked to see Jessica still working at there. The all-star baseball player is back in town after a humiliating pitch disaster. He is still considered the town’s hero, but this baseball flub takes a swipe at his ego.

However, seeing Jessica again immediately lifts his spirits. Just after the first conversation, they are both riding high. And although they have respective lovers, secretly they cannot get each other out of their minds.

A further spark is lit when Chase supports Jessica and encourages her to open up her food truck. He may even have a major hook up for her since his mechanic dad has a truck that he can easily restore. It’s around that same time that Chase realizes that his relationship with his supermodel girlfriend is not what he wants.
