Through distance and pixelated screens, a struggling couple fights to give their relationship a second chance with a series of virtual dates.Colm and Evie never made sense on paper. She's like a comforting pumpkin spice latte. He's a straightforward large black coffee. Despite their differences, their love was like a fairy tale. Until a tragic accident drives an emotional wedge between them. Now, Evie's smile no longer reaches her eyes and Colm's seat beside her often sits empty. When Colm accepts the opportunity to teach in Costa Rica for sixty days, their relationship seems doomed. Unwilling to say goodbye for good, Colm proposes an experiment to Evie. They agree to plan a series of elaborate virtual dates to bridge the chasm of distance between them. Will their experiment be enough to find their way back to each other again, or do second chances only exist in romance novels...and not in real life?
