Sam has been depressed for five decades, he just doesn’t know it. He knows things are not the way they’re supposed to be and as far as everyone knows, gods can’t get depressed.
When he finally realizes it, he decides to take a gap year on Earth making friends, finding an apartment and a job – the whole human experience.
What Sam doesn’t know is how much he needs the help of his new friends. What his friends don’t know is how lucky they are having gained the trust and friendship of a god. And not any god – Sam is Cupid.
As he tries to blend in with his new friends, not letting them know who he really is, he can’t help but open up a little and feel sympathetic towards their problems.
Although he knows how difficult it will be to play his role while being not only visible for everyone but recognizable for his friends, he decides that this is not a good enough reason to stop helping Mason and Roxy – two of his coworkers – to find their kindred souls.
The compatibility system determines Sam’s job will be easier than expected because Roxy and Mason are made for each other.
Although they prove to be fairly simple to guide, Sam discovers bewildered that his friend Claire, is a whole different story. She somehow doesn’t fit with anyone – her maximum compatibility is at a very low 82% – and even when Sam uses one of his arrows on her, she doesn’t flinch, indicating the arrow didn’t do its job.
Now Sam has to decide if he should introduce Claire to Dave, this person who is not her soul mate, but still the best chance she has to be happy. Even if he feels this strange, uncalled for aversion towards the man, Sam wants what’s best for Claire and makes all the necessary arrangements for them to meet.
