What Infatuation about?

Infatuation it’s a classic case of “be careful what you wish for.” It follows a lonely young man Bear (Michael Johnston) who to crush watching his friend Nikki (Navarrette). He’s not very good at talking to women, let alone falling in love, so when he gets his hands on “One Wish Willow” he promises to make his dream come true, he wants Nikki to love him more than anyone.
