Closed off businesswoman Abbey Lawrence (Bethany Joy Lenz) gets stood up again. Her aunt Francis suggests following her dad in writing a letter in a bottle and sending it out into the world. Three months later, fisherman Nick Everson (Andrew W. Walker) finds the bottle in Alaska. He happens to be the son of her boss. He's asked to return to Boston for his sister Sophie's wedding and work with Abbey on her project. It's a semi-setup and neither side is happy. Meanwhile, they unknowingly become email pen pals over the bottle.
The premise is a little cheesy but surprisingly effective. There is the expectation of an eventual meet up. It would have been much better if they fight in business and be the perfect couple online. It would be "You've Got Mail", and all the better for it. The closer they become in business. The less intensity is their confrontation and the less reason there is for him to skip their first meeting. This is set up for the classic rom-com but it veers slightly away. The couple is still adorable and it's still good for a Hallmark romance.
