What does Erin Morris have to do to get the school's most popular hottie, Zach Cameron, to ask her out?

When a dog food company announces a competition for the "new face of Cheesebarkers" TV ad campaign, a school committee forms to find a school mascot and train it so they can win the prize money for the school. And Zach Cameron is on the committee. What better place to show off her talents as a dog trainer and impress Zach?

At times touching and other times hilarious, The Trouble with Cupid examines a young teen's first serious crush, along with the constant struggle to find acceptance while still remaining true to her principles.
