Den kønne børnehaveklasselærer Sarah Nolan er skilt, opgivende og uden kæreste - indtil hendes søster lægger hendes profil ud på perfectmatch.com. Nu kommer hun på masser af dates. Med nørder, tøsedrenge, casanovaer, sportsidioter. Og Jake, en sensitiv bådebygger, hvis forestilling om sand kærlighed er som taget ud af Doktor Zhivago. Jake er flot, kvik og måske lidt for intens. Så Sarah forpasser ham. Og forpasser måske sin eneste chance for ægte kærlighed.
