Plot

When Cyrus Nollen joins forces with high school heart-throb Christian Newville to woo his own secret love Roxy Rostand, he unintentionally wreaks havoc as Roxy falls hard for the virtual dream-boy with Cyrus' wit and Christian's good looks.

Cyrus Nollen is a teenage computer genius and legendary joker with a "nose for trouble" at Bergerac High. He's smart, sensitive, funny, and madly in love with his friend Roxy, but painfully shy because of his large nose. Unfortunately Roxy tells Cyrus that she's interested in the new kid in Cyrus' Biology class, Chris Newville. Chris is nervous about speaking to Roxy, so Cyrus sends a few charming witty texts to get him started. But Cyrus gets more and more involved, living vicariously through Chris, revealing in this chance to tell Roxy how he feels without fear of rejection. Things spiral out of control, and Cyrus has to keep the illusion alive by taking over all of Chris's social networking, to make him seem smarter and deeper than he is. In no time at all, Roxy is head over heels with someone who technically doesn't exist, and the two have to scramble to keep from getting caught. Cyrus Nollen is Cyrano de Bergerac for the cyber age, a fast, fun adaptation of a classic is the vein of Clueless and 10 Things I Hate About You.—Jesse Lipscombe

When Roxy falls for new quarterback Christian Newville, her big-nosed best friend Cyrus conspires with him to woo her via social media, the merger of his brain and Christian's good looks unintentionally wreaking havoc when she falls hard for the perfect, imaginary dream-boy. A modern adaptation of the classic French play Cyrano de Bergerac.

Classmates at Bergerac High School, Roxy Rostand, Cyrus Nollen, and Bronwyn Raganeau - the romantic bookworm, the skateboarding computer genius, and the smart ass hipster, respectively - have been best friends since they were children, the latter two additionally each other's cousin. Cyrus will do anything for Roxy - such as the computer hack to show up in a very public manner self-absorbed Mike Flurry for a crude act he made toward Roxy - as he is secretly in love with her, Bronwyn the only person in who he has confided such. Cyrus doesn't tell Roxy directly as he, in his self-consciousness, believes romantic love will never be in his life due to his extremely large nose, he in the process never having his photograph taken or allowing others to talk about his or anyone else's nose in general. He, however, can eloquently express his love for Roxy in more private means. When he learns that Roxy is attracted to new student Christian Newville and subsequently that Christian in turn is attracted to her but is too shy to approach her, Cyrus agrees to both their requests to act as an intermediary in at least making an introduction. But when he discovers that sweet Christian is otherwise a proverbial dumb jock that would not be able to win over Roxy on his own, Cyrus further takes the reigns in being Christian's "words and voice" to Roxy without her knowledge, the reason being twofold: to make Roxy happy in Christian being who she wants, and to be involved in some respect in Roxy's love life, even if he isn't the object of her affection in return. What happens within this triangle of sorts is further affected by Cyrus' on-going feud with much larger and stronger Mike, who vows revenge.—Huggo
