Charles (Jason A. Coombs) is a talented writer whose insecurities have a habit of getting in the way, especially when it comes to romance. When he falls for smart, handsome Rocky (Kavin Panmeechao), there’s just one problem: Rocky has his eye on Charles’s devastatingly attractive but socially awkward friend Christian (Zach Schanne). Christian may have the looks, but Charles has the words, inspiring the friends to hatch a plan that seems foolproof—at least at first.

Using Christian’s face and Charles’s romantic way with words, the pair team up to win Rocky’s heart, setting off a comedy of mixed signals, mistaken intentions and increasingly tangled emotions. But as their scheme takes on a life of its own, the line between helping a friend and hiding your true feelings becomes harder to navigate. Warmhearted, witty and refreshingly inclusive, Glitterbaited gives a classic romantic tale a colorful contemporary makeover.

Beneath all the farcical fun is a story about self-confidence, friendship and discovering that being yourself might just be the most attractive quality of all.
