Love means wanting to share your popcorn but Ruthie can't do it.
Ruthie's a free spirit, moving in and out of relationships faster than a Baby Yoda meme goes viral. It's easier being the heartbreaker rather than letting anyone get close enough to be disappointed.
Trev is a teacher, plodding along on his screenplay in his spare time, which he now has lots of, thanks to a recent breakup. He isn't looking for love, although his mother thinks differently, spending more time than she should playing match-maker.
Their meet-cute is more loathing than love, involving wine, a ruined shirt and enough banter to raise the eyebrows of their friends. Even though everyone seems to be finding love, neither Ruthie or Trev think it's in the cards for them.
Except that Ruthie keeps popping up in Trev's life, and the more he time he spends with her, the more Trev looks for ways to see her again. And Ruthie starts to worry that this time, it's not going to be Trev's heart that will be broken.
Pass the popcorn.
After Flora and M.K., now it's time to fall in love with Ruthie!
