They connect instantly, but the plane lands before they can exchange numbers. Sasha becomes convinced she's met her soulmate and launches a search for Seat F. She asks a colleague for help, but accidentally sends her plea to the entire company. Soon employees across the globe join the hunt, with some discovering romance themselves. Sasha refuses to wait passively. She hires a detective to track down her mystery man, but this choice brings complications she never expected.
