In the film, LOVE IS A DANGEROUS GAME, despite finding great success with her series of "Molly the Magical Meerkat" books, children's book Author, "Paulina Connelly"(Natasha Nice), looks to make a career change, when she is inspired to pen a Horror novel, by the works of best selling Horror Novelist, "Wes Mueller"(Richie Calhoun). She finds his work, both edgy and exciting, which is just the type of stuff that she hopes to soon write herself. It takes some convincing on Paulina's part, but soon, she convinces her agent, Donald"(Jack Lawrence), to give her a shot. However, for Paulina, there is only one problem - she doesn't know where to begin. Looking for inspiration, who better to call, than the very man whom inspired her in the first place? Although he has an unlisted number, the savvy Paulina is able to locate and purchase Mueller's number online, and soon calls him up. Wes Mueller, who seems to live a secluded lifestyle, is at first, put off by the call. But when he learns of her identity, he is rather thrilled, as he explains that his niece, just so happens to be a fan of "Molly the Meerkat". From there, sparks conversation, followed with Mueller being glad to help her. The two soon hit it off, much to the chagrin of Paulina's sister, "Sara"(Kimberly Kane) and her boyfriend, "Craig"(Rocco Reed), who both believe that Mueller is a shady character, Because, after all, any Author who writes stories with titles such as "Torture Devices of the Soul" "Stungun City" and "Bullet in the Heart of Hate", must be crazy, right? Paulina initially blows it off, but it is when Sara and Craig locate an article in as issue of "Novelist Monthly". that things about Mueller, begin to look rather suspicious. The article, published one year ago, chronicles Mueller's 3 month stay in an institution, due to a mental illness. Could Sara and Craig actually be right? Could his story be far more fact than fiction? It's possible. And because of that Paulina shuts him out, although he continues to call. Fast forward in time a little, and it has been some time since she last spoke to Mueller. However, in a surprise, he unexpectedly shows up at her door, just as she is getting ready to go to dinner. So, is he there to slaughter her in cold blood? Not quite. In fact, he has a plausible explanation for everything, cluing us in on just has dedicated he is to his work. But that doesn't mean that the two can't have a little fun with Sara and Craig. When they show up to dinner together, Mueller is quick to assume the act of unhinged crazy person, much to the delight of Paulina, and the real life Horror of Sara and Craig. In the end, Paulina discovers that sometimes assumptions aren't always true, and that sometimes love finds you when you least expect it.
