An aspiring screenwriter has a chance encounter with an actor who could be the man of her dreams. Over the next ten years, sheโll write the story . . . but will he end up being the star?
February 4, 2003, promises to be a typical day for Olivia Rossโa greeting card writer whose passion project is a screenplay of her own. But after she and a handsome actor have a magical meet-cute in a coffee shop, they make a spontaneous pact: in ten years, after theyโve found the success theyโre just sure theyโre going to achieve, theyโll return to the coffeehouse to partner up and make a film together. The only problem? Olivia neglected to get the strangerโs name. But she doesnโt forget his faceโor the date.
For the next ten years, every February 4 is marked with coincidences and ironies for Olivia. As men come and go and return to her life, she continues to write, but still wonders about the guy from the coffee shopโthe nameless actor sheโs almost certain has turned out to be Hamish MacDougal, now a famous A-lister and Hollywood leading man.
But a lot can happen in ten years, and while waiting for the curtain to rise on her fate, the true story of Oliviaโs life is being writtenโand if sheโs not careful, sheโll completely miss the real-life romantic comedy playing out right before her eyes.
