## Biography

A bundle of insecurities outside of the hospital (where he works as a doctor), Stefan is a hopeless romantic. He ruins every relationship by placing his partners on a pedestal, convincing himself that they’re ‘The One’ before he’s gotten to know them. He makes this mistake with Katie at first, thinking she’s a princess in need of saving. He’s about to find out just how wrong he is…

Stefan is a young doctor. One evening, he interrupts the wedding of Katie McConnell and asks her to leave her would-be husband Hugo Delaney, but is rejected. A few hours later, Stefan is arrested and informed that that the Delaneys were poisoned at their wedding reception and Katie has gone missing. He relates that he met Katie at the wedding of a mutual friend three months prior, which he attended with his friends Anil, Leila, Suji, and Jackson. At the reception, Stefan performed an emergency tracheotomy while intoxicated, and began a sporadic affair with Katie. To get him to cooperate, the officers in charge of the case, Metts and Donahue, attempt to blackmail Stefan with the possibility of losing his medical license. However, Katie crashes a car into the police headquarters and convinces Stefan to escape with her in the ensuing chaos.

Stefan and Katie make their way to a village north of Edinburgh, where Katie is sure that the family black sheep, Fred Delaney, will help them. Stefan grows frustrated with Katie's lack of transparency about the situation and suspicious of Fred. He convinces Katie that Fred is not to be trusted and the two escape just as mysterious men in pest control vans arrive at Fred's home. The two escape on a fishing boat across the lake. In flashbacks, Stefan left another friend's wedding to accidentally crash Katie's engagement party, where she makes him pretend to be a school friend to convince Hugo's suspicious father that her past is legitimate.

Stefan and Katie have made their way to a lakeside diner. Angry with Katie, Stefan goes on a walk, only to return and find Katie in the middle of fighting the men who were pursuing them. Stefan manages to hijack the van they throw Katie in and the two escape, driving towards the men's base of operations -- a Glasgow nightclub. Stefan attempts to phone his friends, only to be accosted by an unknown man in the phone booth. In flashbacks, Stefan and his friends attend the wedding of the son of the Delaneys' lawyer. Stefan catches Katie trying to break into the lawyer's laptop for an unknown reason.

After a series of mishaps, Stefan gets caught by the police who try to question him about the poisoning at Katie's wedding. Stefan gets away and he and Katie try to figure out what really happened. Stefan's friends learn from Donahue that Metts is allergic to sesame. Stefan and Katie successfully infiltrate the Texas wedding, steal Metts' EpiPen, and withhold it long enough so she can confess to the murder of the Delaneys, which she had done on orders from the Block.

Eventually, everything goes back to normal and Stefan and Katie start dating. However, one night Katie walks back to her car and it explodes.
