Arthur è al settimo cielo per la gioia: trascorrerà l'intera estate a New York, e per lui, cresciuto sognando Broadway, non esiste una città più magica e romantica, un luogo dove davvero tutto può succedere. Se la sua passione per i musical gli ha insegnato qualcosa, è che l'universo può recapitarti una storia d'amore indimenticabile quando meno te l'aspetti. Ben, invece, pensa che l'universo per una buona volta dovrebbe imparare a farsi gli affari suoi. Se davvero gli fosse amico, di certo ora non starebbe andando all'ufficio postale per spedire un'intera scatola di oggetti del suo ex. Ma quando, proprio in quel luogo affollato, le strade di Arthur e Ben si incrociano, viene il sospetto che il destino abbia davvero qualcosa in serbo per loro. Ma che cosa di preciso? Forse niente. In fondo, dopo essersi incontrati, ognuno va per la sua strada. Forse tutto. In fondo, alla fine si rivedono. Ma cosa accadrebbe se il loro primo appuntamento "ufficiale" non andasse proprio come previsto? E nemmeno il secondo... e il terzo? E se la vita vera non fosse così tremendamente magica come pensa Arthur? Ma se invece lo fosse? Soprattutto: perché un amore a prima vista fantastico come quelli dei film deve capitare sempre agli altri? Perché non può capitare anche a loro?
