Everyone is born with a countdown to when they will meet their soul mate on their wrist, and it's not long before Mae is due to find her perfect match. But who?
Chris is not expecting it when his Timer goes off. He was expecting it to go off that day, but not at that time. Not surrounded by his students.
Joel, however, is expecting his Timer to go off in class. He's a college Freshman. Everyone's Timers go off during their first few weeks of Freshman year. It's normal. Almost boring. Expected.
Or; Chris is a college professor. Joel is his student. They're soulmates.
