Synopsis: Flirt with the unknown in 17 unusual tales of blind dates...
When people embark on blind dates, they never quite know what they will find-and the dates in these mostly modern- day urban tales go far beyond the usual expectations.
Here, these 17 romantic hopefuls encounter surprise first dates with the likes of Zeus and William Shakespeare; Medusa wreaks havoc upon Internet predators; a woman is cursed to see the truth about her dates after drinking a little wine; and more.
All of these very different dates begin with the hope that romance will result. Some will find a happily ever after, while for others there will be no "ever after" at all...
