Brandi Seaton feels something's missing in her love life. Though she's engaged to a handsome, successful college sweetheart, but questions whether she's really ready to make a life commitment. She decides that she needs a change in her life and breaks off her engagement. Her roommate suggests using a local telephone partyline as a way to meet a new prospect. Her first night she speaks with 'Dre'. He's educated, professional and sexy. Their conversations continue and she finds herself looking forward finally meeting Dre. Though apprehensive, Brandi soon agrees to rendezvous at a local cafe. Their meeting exceeds their expectations. They are attracted to each other and there seems to be a genuine 'chemistry' between them. The next time they meet Alex expresses far more than platonic interest. So much, that he 'spooks' Brandi. She decides she's not ready to take things further and that Alex is moving too quickly. Alex doesn't take the rejection well begins to stalk Brandi. First having flowers delivered to her office then having lunch delivered the following day. Finally he reveals that he has even watched Brandi as she left her office at the end of the day. By now, Brandi is angered and frightened. She decides to bluff Alex, by stating she is not interested in him because she is dating Anita (her roommate). Though false, the announcement enrages Alex.
