Restaurateur Rachel Owen has been adrift since her husband’s sudden death six years ago. Tired of settling for companionship without real passion, she takes a leap and secretly joins a dating app. She creates the persona “Tamara,” inspired by her favorite artist, Tamara de Lempicka. As Rachel embraces this new adventure, she catches the attention of "Lone Wolf," a mysterious and intellectual match. Their witty exchanges deepen into something more, leading to plans to meet over the holidays. Meanwhile, an impromptu night at a retro dance club sparks an unexpected connection with someone familiar, forcing Rachel to reassess what she truly wants. On the night of her long-awaited date with Lone Wolf, their revealed identity surprises her—but feels undeniably right. Just as Rachel embraces this new relationship, tragedy strikes: a bomb detonates at her restaurant, trapping her newfound love inside. Will they survive? What new risks will Rachel have to deal with?
