The Big Apple envelops her with its energy, and during this journey of self-exploration, she encounters a series of characters who challenge and enrich her perspective on love and relationships.
One of the surprises is an old friend, an attractive but committed film critic, who helps her see the possibilities of romance from a more positive angle. As the days go by, the chemistry between them becomes undeniable, leading Eileen to question her own desires and expectations about relationships.
