In �Coyote Ugly,� Violet Sanford (Perabo) leaves her blue-collar New Jersey home for New York City, where she wants to pursue a career as a songwriter.

Love sparks between Violet and Kevin O�Donnell (Adam Garcia, �Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen,� �Love�s Brother�), an adventurous Australian who is determined to help her with her stage fright.
