Honey is a smooth-talking playboy with a tried-and-tested formula for wooing women. His best friend, Cashel, is his complete opposite: a neurotic romantic and a walking disaster when it comes to love, complete with a laundry list of allergies, phobias, and insecurities.
When Cashel moves in after his first major heartbreak, Honey tries his best to help him get back in the game by teaching him the art of the casual hookup. Cashel follows Honey's advice which is mostly just a lesson on how to lie to women ; and although it does not go as planned, it still manages to charm strong-willed, sexually driven Eloise. It looks like Cashel might have the perfect rebound opportunity - that is, until he immediately falls madly in love with her, forcing him to reevaluate his relationship with hookup culture and casual dating.
The script plays like a classic TV sitcom, lighthearted and upbeat. The humour comes from contrasting characters in situations that put their weaknesses to the test. The show makes its biggest statement when Cashel invites Eloise over for a casual hookup while secretly trying to hide his mad, obsessive love for her.
Eloise is crystal clear about her intentions for a relationship driven by sexual encounters only. She sees marriage as a form of ownership and wants to keep her freedom. The way both women see dating as an obstacle to their freedom highlights an emerging hyper-independence in modern dating. While Eloise stands her ground, Maya gets caught up in the allure of it, having boundaries so clear and rigid that she almost misses the loving relationship blooming in front of her.
