When decidedly unhappy Edie Pepper DMs her way onto a reality tv dating show, she's going to realize love isn't so easily won in this "perfect modern romcom" (Laurie Devore, author of The Villain Edit) Thirty-five year old Edie Pepper, a rosé… loving, reality TV obsessed copywriter from Chicago, dreams of plucking her soulmate from the depths of Hinge (or Tinder or Bumble). Following yet another dumpster fire of a date, Edie is consoling herself with boxed wine and E! News when Ryan Seacrest drops a bomb: Edie&’s high school sweetheart has been cast as the lead in America&’s most beloved reality dating show, The Key, and wow, does he look different. Charlie Bennett, Edie&’s chubby cheeked, cosplay loving high school boyfriend has had a serious glow up, and is now a world traveling, extreme sports hunk. Desperate to reclaim her One True Love, Edie DMs the show&’s conniving producers, who are more than happy to shove Edie headfirst into the competition. But Charlie isn&’t quite who she remembers, and he&’s as desperate to hide his past as Edie is to reveal it. Further complicating matters is Peter Kennedy, The Key&‘s cranky showrunner, who, despite his best efforts, finds himself drawn to Edie&’s everywoman charm. Navigating increasingly absurd dates, Edie starts to rethink everything she thought she knew about love. Is the biggest risk she&’s ever taken about to culminate in disaster? Or is Edie about to secure the Happily Ever After she&’s always wanted? Find out this season on The Key.
