title: Ugly Girl
author: Ressel, Steve
description: UGLY GIRL, a tragic modern romantic comedy. Meet Helen Bach - the ugly girl in a perfect world. Love and romance abound, but the indefatiguable Helen gets none while her roommates get it all. The drought makes Helen try harder. When true romance rolls imperfectly into Helen's life it sets of a chain of events that threatens to destroy the world, the universe! Or worse, maybe even track mud into these sensative girls' apartment on Perfect Street! It's a tale of finding love when desperation is all a woman has for motivation. As her roommates indulge in romance, Helen becomes the desire of the local drunk vagrant, a giant, possessive, male cat, embroiled in an international spy adventure, a soul numbing job, and genocide... pretty typical romance type stuff. Perhaps Helen would get it all together if only she realized she was the UGLY GIRL.
