Plot
Zoey Miller, a highly intelligent computer major junior, at Queens University of Charlotte does not believe in the traditional concept of romantic love, but rather that having similar ways of thinking is the key. On Valentine's Day she speaks up against fellow student Becca's presentation on Saint Valentine in a history class, saying that the holiday is a capitalist creation. She has designed an app that will effectively match people based on algorithms.
As Zoey is crossing campus with her roommate and friend Elle, the school's soccer star Zach MacLaren accidentally kicks a ball into her head. He rushes over to apologize. Elle finds it romantic, but Zoey shrugs it off. In a subsequent class, another student has an almost identical view to Zoey when love is discussed, but disappears before she can tell him so.
