Two strangers crash into each other in an ever-so-slightly fictionalized New York on the one night when single people are allowed to have sex. Recently dumped Owen and hopeful romantic Allie may be the only two singles in the city looking for more than a quick encounter. They both feel a spark when they meet, but a series of missteps and side quests will complicate their night. From Will Gluck, the writer-director of Anyone But You and Friends with Benefits, comes a fresh, funny, swoony original romantic comedy about searching for love on the least romantic night of the year.
