"Single and without a man on the horizon, Pia (Ashley) runs a failing photography studio in London with her best friend Jay (Luke Fetherston)," the synopsis reads.
"As her sister Sonal (Anoushka Chadha) prepares to get married and her mother Laxmi (Sindhu Vee) urges the resolutely independent Pia to partner up, a spiritual guru at Sonal’s engagement party predicts Pia will meet the love of her life among the next five dates she goes on.
"As her family intervene, setting her up on a series of increasingly desperate blind dates, Pia begins a hilarious but heartfelt quest for real love."
