2 Across

A Comedy of Crosswords & Romance, by Jerry Mayer

2 Across is a charming romantic comedy about two strangers who meet on an early morning train.  Janet is a rule-abiding psychologist; Josh is a laid-back ad man between jobs.

Over the course of this simple commute filled with wit, wordplay, and one very stubborn crossword puzzle, they discover how opposites might just attract.
