## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A rom-com premise for people who wish rom-coms had a higher concept. Ruby, unlucky in love, thinks she's finally found the one, but Sam claims to be from the future. It's not easy to date a possible crank, but at least it's interesting.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, mindfuck, outsider
