Since her boyfriend, Sean, is stuck with business engagements, Scarlett is left with no choice but to fly to the city with her best friend Oscar. Scarlett explores every single NY landmark while Oscar is so excited about the Sex and The City bus tour. Amidst all the fun, Scarlett bumps into charming TV reporter Jamie who shares her passion for movies and has a lot more in common with her than she could ever guess. Just when Scarlett has started to wonder why she is so attracted to Jamie, she gets the biggest surprise of her life.
