An Entirely Ordinary Town is a comedic yet touching love story that's anything but ordinary. Jay and Ava discover the concept of love and dive headfirst through a portal to another world to live out their dream. This sends ripples back through their old town where love was banished. The Town's existence hanging in the balance, questions swarm about the fancy four-letter-word, and the honey and poison it spreads. Jay and Ava's new life becomes riddled with the familiar relationship challenges of modern life, and as the duality of the story sharpens, these naive hearts are forced to discover that love is so much more than just a four-letter-word.
