Sara's having a bad week. The light bulbs in her apartment keep burning out; there's a leak in the roof; the aquarium is full of dead fish; the cat's gone AWOL, and her father - who chased off her last beau - is suspicious of Tom, their new neighbor who just brought Sara home from the emergency room on New Year's Eve with a fractured fifth metatarsal. As Tom's attraction to Sara increases, he learns of the bizarre streak of bad luck that's been haunting Sara for years - 22 years to be precise. These funny, charming, quirky characters just can't seem to get things right in love. Except when they do.
