Synopsis

Whilst visiting her family in Townsville for her sister Alice’s engagement festivities, tea shop owner Lia finds herself at a comedically tumultuous family luncheon with her best friend Mason and is gifted an unwelcome prophecy that she will soon meet her suitor. Her family, unsure of Lia’s ability to discern a partner for herself, decides to set her up on five blind dates. Even though her true passion and current focus lies in saving her tea-shop, a legacy left to her from her grandmother, Lia reluctantly agrees to go on these dates.
