Shelby Daniels and her best friend Debra Mitchell has just gotten off the sex-before-marriage merry-go-round with men. Each has gone looking for love, found love, lost love, and at this point, sworn off men forever…

Until Debra meets Leonard DuBois, an aspiring stand–up comedian, who tries to laugh his way into her heart. But the laughter stops when he is forced to confront some hurdles of his own. Debra has devoted her mind, body, heart and soul to God. So, if he wants to ride with her, he’ll have to produce the ring. This leaves him questioning what matters most-and whether he’s ready for the love of a good woman.

In the meantime, the man-less Shelby, a feisty, nosy, attitude packing flight attendant, keeps intervening in Debra’s business. Needing someone to run interference and get rid of Shelby, Leonard calls on his best buddy Tyrel Williams… Tyrel, a sexy and charming computer software designer, keeps finding himself unable to design the perfect woman. On the rebound, Shelby locked her heart in a vault. When Tyrel finds the key, the attraction is instant and so are the consequences. Their relationship moves at warp speed, leaving Shelby confronting a decision that could turn her whole life around and break both of their hearts. As a result, friendship falls by the wayside, jealousy come into play, and sisterhood is torn apart, as lies pin Shelby against the wall.

It takes a tragedy on a grand scale to reunite lovers destined for each other and teach both couples that friendship is perhaps the most valuable gift they’ve been given. “Friends and Lovers”…A hilarious tale of friendship, love, and faith that speaks directly to the heart.
