A witty, melancholic romantic comedy that deconstructs the fantasy of love through a non-linear journey of heartbreak and self-discovery.

Tom, greeting-card writer and hopeless romantic, is caught completely off-guard when his girlfriend, Summer, suddenly dumps him. He reflects on their 500 days together to try to figure out where their love affair went sour, and in doing so, Tom rediscovers his true passions in life.
