A Stretch to Love

During the pandemic of 2020, a curse was released upon the city of New Orleans following the death of three men during the construction of the Hard Rock Hotel several months before. This curse impacted the lives of everyone, including several athletes who were NFL hopefuls. "A Stretch To Love," tells the story of one woman who moved to Jacksonville, Florida to escape the 2020 curse of New Orleans while pursuing her dream of becoming an NFL Stretch Therapist. The film opens with Alaina Guidry, the female lead, sitting on Jax Beach while writing in her journal. She's recalling the events of 2020 and how the curse impacted her life. She wonders if the hex still impacts her love life. We then see the story begin during Mardi Gras of 2020 when then NFL hopeful Elijah Landry (fictional character) is shot at a parade. He has to now watch as Nate Evans, Jr. (a real-life athlete) prepares for his NFL debut after being signed by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Nate Evans, Jr. left New Orleans a few years before attending the University of Central Florida in Orlando. Sitting in his bed, a now paralyzed and depressed Elijah Landry must endure seeing Nate Evans, Jr. prepare to join the Jacksonville Jaguars which is the same team that Elijah hoped would draft him. Alaina Guidry tells the story from her very own perspective as she writes in her journal.
