Single and seemingly staying that way, flower delivery
man Leo has never had a real girlfriend and, well, hasnt
been able to line up any prospects. It doesnt help that
hes not very handsome, slightly overweight, and has a crippling
case of shyness to boot. A deliveryman for Moments,
the specialty flower store of choice for the love-struck, each
day Leos job brings him face to face with other peoples
happiest moments. Each bouquet comes with the three simple words
Be Happy Always
You could say that luck is
just not Leos lady.
When one day Leo meets the kind and beautiful Amelia
on delivery, energies converge and a chord strikes his heart.
He knows hes met the one. He sees her often, as her lover
is sending flowers once a week. With each visit Leos love
grows and so does his desire to make her his own. When he finds
out Amelias beau is two-timing her, Leo knows he has no
choice but to expose the villain, restore Amelias honor,
and just perhaps change his luck and life for ever.

Leo: Be Happy Always
