How hard is it to hook up with your soul mate? We find out in The Importance of Blind Dating, as a pair of internet romancers end up at the wrong table for a hilarious mess of a first meeting.

Mr. Anders, a rejection-letter writer for a busy publishing house, just wants a good burger. Cindy, the romantic internet poet of dubious talent, wants to finally meet the man of her dreams. Miss Torres, a teacher of literature to disinterested students, wants to spend a little time in a good book. And Bob, the hopelessly dorky singer-songwriter, just wants to share his soul with a bewildered Juliet.

Patrick, the impish and mysteriously omniscient flower vendor, manipulates destiny to drive these four unsuspecting strangers together, then stands back to watch as fickle fate and idealistic love collide.

Mistaken identities, romantic tomfoolery, and a mix-up with a red carnation and a popular book by Oscar Wilde all conspire to prove that “the course of true love never did run smooth.”
