About the show

“Are you lonely, Sean? I can hear you being lonely down the telephone.”

Anna and Sean seem an unlikely pair. One is studying poetry at Columbia University, the other is a personal trainer. But lives can become connected in unexpected ways, and the distances between people can shrink in a matter of moments... with a little help from an online service.

As the couple deal with the terrifying reality of commitment, their friends and family are busy uniting across states and countries, forming a new network of relationships which is utterly unhindered by geography.
