Synopsis
Theresa Bedell, a successful New York journalist, agrees to a blind date with Tony, a friend of a friend. Despite his charm, she quickly realises they are incompatible and decides not to pursue the relationship further. However, Tony becomes increasingly persistent, sending flowers and making incessant phone calls. His behaviour rapidly escalates into a dangerous obsession, threatening Theresa and those close to her. As Tony’s actions grow more menacing, Theresa must fight to save herself from being consumed by his relentless pursuit. Boy Gets Girl is a chilling exploration of the fine line between romantic persistence and stalking, challenging societal assumptions about courtship and highlighting the vulnerability of women in the face of male aggression.
