Mira Ray and her almost fiancé John are deeply in love and often exchange playful text messages. Moments after a warm interaction in a café, John steps outside and is struck by a car in full view of Mira. Two years later, Mira is living with her parents outside the city. Her sister Suzy frequently calls, urging her to return, and eventually convinces her to move back. John's accident had been fatal, and Mira still struggles with the loss. Rob Burns is also heartbroken, having been left by his fiancée a week before their wedding. He unhappily follows his ex Elizabeth on social media. Summoned to work, Rob is assigned to write a profile on
Celine Dion and is warned that if he cannot write about her with sincerity, his job may be at risk. After receiving a new corporate cell phone, Rob chats with his colleagues Lisa and Billy, who push him to start dating again, though he has grown cynical about love. At the same time, Mira opens a box given to her by John's parents, filled with his clothes and the engagement ring he never had the chance to give her. As a children's book author and illustrator, she is pressured by her publisher to deliver another upbeat book soon or risk an intern's dismissal and be forced to return her last advance. Rob begins receiving intimate, emotional messages from an unknown woman on his new work phone. When he learns she has a blind date arranged through a dating app, he goes to the bar in hopes of identifying her. Believing he has spotted her, he watches her leave with her date, unaware that Mira soon throws the man out of the cab for being too sexually aggressive. During his interview with Celine, she quickly senses Rob's cynicism about love. She asks probing questions until he opens up, encouraging him to follow his heart. Although he runs out of time for the interview, she urges him to return once he has worked through his doubts. Interpreting one of the texts, Rob deduces that the sender will attend a specific opera at the
Met. He decides to stay through multiple performances until he finds her. When he finally does, he introduces himself, learns her name is Mira Ray, and they exchange personal phone numbers. Meeting for cheeseburgers another day, Rob and Mira discover more shared interests and talk through the night. The following evening, they cook dinner at her place. She falls asleep, and he stays on the sofa. In the morning, Mira panics when she finds Rob and Suzy getting along effortlessly. Rob later finds Celine rehearsing, and she observes that he has changed. Mira reaches out again, and after playing basketball together, they spend the night at his place. The next morning, she sees her texts to John displayed on Rob's computer and feels betrayed, telling him never to contact her again. Instead of writing the assigned profile on Celine, Rob writes about how she and her music inspired him to pursue love, which he found with Mira. He declares that she has transformed him and pleads for a second chance, asking her to meet him where he first began to feel hopeful again. His boss publicly reprimands him for ignoring the assignment but privately praises the piece and promises him a podcast. Rob eventually finds Mira somewhere between the Met and
Central Park. After he agrees to several promises, they reconcile and share a kiss. == Cast ==
