Sara Fine’s having a bad week. Really bad! The light bulbs in her apartment keep burning out; there’s yet another leak in the roof; the aquarium is perpetually full of dead fish; the cat’s gone AWOL, again, and her blind, elderly father -- who chased off her last beau -- is immediately suspicious of Tom, their new neighbor, a TSA agent who just brought Sara home from the emergency room on New Year’s Eve with a fractured 5th meta-tarsal.

As Tom’s attraction to the adorably unfortunate Sara increases, he learns of a truly bizarre streak of bad luck that’s been haunting Sara for years – twenty two years to be precise.

Lucky Me is a very funny and whimsical comedy about love, bad luck, aging and airport security.

    Lucky Me is classic Caisley -- full of funny, charming, quirky characters who just can't seem to get things right in love. Except when they do. And you're cheering for them the whole time.
