Spoilers ahead
Socially awkward animal shelter employee Seth Donaldson recognizes his former classmate Holly Garling while riding the same Metro bus. Their brief conversation sparks something in Seth, who then becomes obsessed with Holly. He dives deep into her social media, memorizing her likes and dislikes, all in a bid to win her over.
In an effort to connect, Seth stages a chance encounter at the restaurant where Holly works as a waitress. However, their meeting takes a awkward turn when Holly feels uneasy about Seth’s knowledge of her personal life and dismisses him. Despite this setback, Seth sends Holly roses, though she misinterprets the gesture as a sign of reconciliation from her ex-boyfriend, Eric.
