description: What happens when
  Survivor
  meets
  The Love Connection
  ? Park Evenson is about to find out. She's agreed to be a contestant on
  X-treme Dating
  , a hot new reality TV dating show. As a child, when asked to play Truth or Dare, Park always picked dare. Now that she's all grown up, nothing's changed. She leaps from second-story windows without a net, drives at break-neck speed through heavy traffic, and rescues victims from burning buildings. She's a firefighter for the City of Tucson. Grant Hastings came to Hollywood to pursue his dream of becoming the next Steven Spielberg. When the big break never came, he settled for being one of the best camera operators in the business. Most days, that's enough to keep him satisfied. Until he meets Park. Watching her through the camera viewfinder, he's reminded of why he wanted to be a filmmaker in the first place. Unfortunately, as luck would have it, he must stand idly by while another man does his level best to score with Park. Worse yet, he has to film every move the man makes during the weekend-long date.
