Synopsis: All the Wrong Reasons is an ensemble film that keeps to the confines of the Fairfax Department store, a big box rival to Target and Wal-Mart. Inside is Kate Collins, a security officer. Kate’s a survivor, but she isn’t surviving very well. Posttraumatic stress disorder took a toll on her personal and professional life. Kate’s husband, James, the store’s manager, isn’t sure Kate is going to recover. Missing intimacy, James has an affair with Nicole, another employee, who is holding onto what’s left of her youth. When Simon, an upbeat Christmas temp, gets hired in the security department, Kate re-evaluates how she copes with her trauma.
