A self-aware romantic comedy that satirizes rom-com tropes by trapping a cynical protagonist inside one, balancing playful deconstruction with genuine warmth and romance.

For a long time, Natalie, an Australian architect living in New York City, had always believed that what she had seen in rom-coms is all fantasy. But after thwarting a mugger at a subway station only to be knocked out while fleeing, Natalie wakes up and discovers that her life has suddenly become her worst nightmare—a romantic comedy—and she is the leading lady.
