Fling (film)

By all appearances, Samantha (Courtney Ford) and Mason (Steve Sandvoss) are the perfect couple: young, attractive, successful, and madly in love. At her sister Allison's (Ellen Hollman) idyllic spring wedding, Samantha, a twenty-something fashion designer, finds herself drawn back into the arms of her ex-boyfriend, James (Brandon Routh), a surprise wedding guest. Meanwhile, Mason, a published novelist just shy of thirty, spends a flirtatious evening culminating in a hot tub encounter with his best friend Luke's (Nick Wechsler) 18-year-old sister, Olivia (Shoshana Bush). Sneaking out of James's room, Sam is startled by Mason and confesses her affair. But Mason's reaction is not what is expected. ==Cast==
