A funny, quirky, heart warming musical   

Desperately wanting a date for the upcoming school reunion, a socially awkward, internet loving dog washer, Delaney, embarks on a journey into the world of romantic daydreams, speed dating and online love.

Will she find what she's looking for? Or is she just doomed to live a solitary life with a house full of scrubbed canines?
