What Is Getting It Right About?
The premise of Getting It Right without spoilers.
Gavin, a 31‑year‑old virgin who still lives with his parents, is painfully shy until three very different women show up in his life. Free‑spirited Lady Minerva Munday dwells in a basement, Joan is a promiscuous millionairess married to a Greek architect, and a modest barbershop assistant captures Gavin’s curiosity. As a chaotic night of chance encounters unfolds, Gavin must decide which relationship, if any, will finally help him break out of his shell.
