The movie follows Pia (Ashley), single and without a man on the horizon, who runs a failing photography studio in London with her best friend Jay (

As her family intervenes, setting her up on a series of increasingly desperate blind dates, Pia begins a hilarious but heartfelt quest for real love.

Kulvinder Ghir. The movie will premiere on Prime Video in the UK and internationally. No release date has been set.
