SYNOPSIS:
BackTalk is a delicious comedy that dives into the hilariously complicated world of first impressions, second chances, and the voices in our heads that just won’t let us be.
When Rachel, a Columbus real estate developer, starts falling for Bob, a laid-back plumber, their chemistry is undeniable. As their budding romance unfolds, Rachel and Bob must navigate insecurities, expectations, and the unfiltered commentary running through their minds.
If you've ever overthought a text message or second-guessed a flirty smile, BackTalk will leave you laughing, swooning, and rooting for romance with a reminder that sometimes, the hardest person to convince that you’re worthy of love...is yourself.
