Monica Hanslet the office nobody. With wild, untamed hair, a funky and eccentric wardrobe straight out of The Magic School Bus, big bushy brows, and adult braces, she's completely invisible to everyone at work. Especially her impossibly handsome demanding boss, Everett Jennings.
Looking for a little harmless escape from her boring reality, she turns to an anonymous online platform. To her shock, she matches with a stranger who instantly captivates her. They click effortlessly, but there is one major catch: the screen is always pitch black. Every time they talk or attempt to FaceTime refusing to let him see her. He constantly complains, even offering to buy her a brand-new computer just so he can finally look at her, completely unaware that she is deliberately keeping him in the dark.
Convinced he'd run the other way if he saw her real life, she vents to her sister, panicking, "He's not going to like me! Look at me-I have braces, my hair is a disaster, and I dress like Miss Frizzle!" Unfazed, her sister tries to talk some sense into her, brushing off her insecurities but doing a makeover for her.
Instead, when the pressure of talking to her actual boss gets to be too much, she panics and ghosts him, sending a frantic message that she's too sick to deal with anything while simultaneously calling in sick to the office.
Unknown to her, he isn't buying the coincidences anymore. Suspicious that the woman on his screen might be right under his nose, he pulls her personal employee file. He tracks her down to her apartment, determined to uncover the truth.
