But when she meets Felix – a walking series of red flags – she finds that their unusual connection is impossible to ignore, even as it creates more problems than it solves. Now they have to ask themselves: do Americans and Brits actually speak the same language? It is an ex-pat rom-com for the disillusioned who wonder if true love is still possible, but sincerely hope that it is.
