Georgina Connell has her life planned out ahead of her. Every step was well calculated by her mom and if she could only manage to follow these steps precisely then she'd most likely live a practical and simple life. The problem was it didn't feel like living, which led her to take comfort from the Internet. 
It was a place where she could freely be herself. Chatting became a coping mechanism for her.
And then she met Dustin McLeod. He's everything that she wasn't. And after a series of mishaps, they ended up taking part in a conspiracy. Lies were told one after another and as the deeper the lies went, the harder it was to distinguish them from the truth.

When flying home to Canada for her friend's wedding, Audrey dreads confronting the pain she caused her ex and facing her judgemental mother. It drives her to connect with her seatmate, Australian environmental scientist, Caleb, who also craves a distraction. Despite his charm, he is enigmatic about the cause of his stress.
