A light romantic comedy built on mistaken identity and the tension between online connection and real-world compatibility, ultimately affirming genuine human bonds.

When Ben McCauley daringly introduces himself anonymously via email to his secret crush, he mistakenly sends a message to single mother Charley Anderson. Ben begins dating Chloe, but she never quite lives up to the e-mail relationship and anonymous friendship he develops with her co-worker Charley.
