Gracie Cooper, a cheerful and determined woman, takes over her late father's champagne shop in Midtown Manhattan, only to face financial troubles and a potential buyout by a large corporation led by the handsome yet arrogant Sebastian Andrews. Seeking solace, she connects with a mysterious 'Sir' on a blind dating app where identities remain hidden, and they develop a deep online chemistry. However, Gracie is shocked to discover that in real life she already knows Sebastian—and they can't stand each other, leading to a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy full of wit and charm.

................................................................................

Love Is Blind meets You've Got Mail in this laugh-out-loud romantic comedy following two thirty-somethings who meet on a blind dating app - only to realise that their online chemistry is nothing compared to their offline rivalry.

Perpetually cheerful and eager to please, Gracie Cooper strives to make the best out of every situation. When her father dies, she sets aside her dreams of pursuing her passion for art to take over his Midtown Manhattan champagne shop. She soon finds out that the store's profit margins are being squeezed and a giant corporation headed by the impossibly handsome, but irritatingly arrogant Sebastian Andrews is proposing a buyout.

Gracie can't bear the thought of throwing away her father's dream and, overwhelmed, she seeks advice and solace from the faceless 'Sir', with whom she connected on a blind dating app where matches get to know each other before exchanging real names or photos.

But although Gracie finds herself slowly falling for Sir online, she has no idea she's already met him in real life...and they can't stand each other.
