Jake and Nat’s colleague Sophie is ready to find her perfect match. She didn’t expect to meet him in a broken-down elevator, in the dark. After an unexpectedly good conversation with a stranger, they get rescued… and she loses him in the crowd.

Ethan is a single dad in his mid-thirties who is focused on work and raising his young son. When he meets Sophie on the longest elevator ride of his life, his heart starts to wonder if there is room in his life to start dating again. Except he didn’t get her number.

As they begin searching for each other, they’ll have to figure out whether their elevator chemistry can translate into something real.
