Sometimes you have to break the rules to find love.

Ever since they were kids, super-achieving siblings Laine and Michael Gerson have been jubilant competitors and intellectual soulmates. So why is it that Laine would love to end up with a nice Jewish guy like her brother, while the last thing Michael wants romantically is someone like his sister?

Guided by her grit and wit, not to mention astrophysics and salsa music, Laine relentlessly pursues the answer. When love finally comes knocking, she faces a gut-wrenching decision. Should she cast aside tradition and open the door for a man far outside her world? Or should she continue to play by the rules?

“The Sand Game” takes a fresh, funny look at how one sassy single tries to dig herself out of a romantic rut and put a lifelong sibling rivalry to rest.
