A whimsical romantic comedy about two strangers who believe in fate and destiny, separated by circumstance but drawn together by serendipity across years and continents.

Although strangers Sara and Jonathan are both already in relationships, they realize they have genuine chemistry after a chance encounter – but part company soon after.
