In the year 2123, college student Clara Sinclair meets Oliver Beta through the Friends and Lovers dating app. And they seem like a good match. According to the app's AI feature that matches people up, she and Oliver have a 98% rate of compatibility.
As their relationship grows and develops online, they decide to finally make a leap of faith and meet for an in-person dinner date. Clara is a little nervous. But when Oliver confesses at dinner that he knows why the dating app's AI gave them a 2% difference in their compatibility ratio and that it might be a deal-breaker for Clara, she begins to totally freak out.
Oliver had seemed like the perfect man for her. He was kind, funny, and intelligent, and he seemed to really like her too. What could possibly be wrong? Was he dating someone else at the same time? Was he dying of cancer? Was he into kinky sexual things that the innocent Clara knew nothing about? What was up with this wacky AI, and why hadn't it weeded out whatever the problem was? Could 2% really be that big of a deal?
But once Clara knows the truth, she has to make a decision and a true leap of faith if she wants to be with Oliver. She has to give a little bit. And both of them will need to learn what it really means to love someone body and soul.
