Helberg, who stars as Howard on CBS’ hit sitcom The Big Bang Theory, wrote the rom-com about his own courtship with his wife. The fictionalized reality is about a man, Quinn (Helberg), who struggles to propose to his longtime girlfriend, Devon (Lynskey), after Kelsey (Grace) professes her love to him. Quinn leaves Devon for Kelsey, immediately regretting his decision and has to win her back.
