The Other Zoey

On Valentine's Day, Zoey Miller, a computer science major at Queens University, boldly challenges her classmate Becca during a presentation. She argues that the holiday is just a commercial gimmick, demonstrating her strong belief that true connections stem from intellectual engagement rather than romance.

While walking around campus with her friend Elle, Zoey is accidentally struck by a soccer ball kicked by Zach MacLaren, the star soccer player. As Zach apologizes and offers medical assistance, Elle sees this as a potential romantic moment, but Zoey remains indifferent to the incident.

During a lecture, Zoey notices a mysterious dark-haired figure who shares her views on romance but disappears before she can speak with him. This fleeting encounter intrigues her, even as she remains skeptical of romantic notions.

That evening, while watching romantic comedies with Elle, Zoey receives a phone call from her mother, Paula. Paula reminds her of the cliché nature of rom-coms, intensifying Zoey's disdain for the genre and her beliefs about love.

Zach visits the bookstore where Zoey works, leading to an interaction filled with teasing banter. However, their meeting is cut short when Zach inadvertently leaves abruptly after ordering a book, leaving Zoey intrigued.

When Zoey chases after Zach to retrieve her forgotten credit card, he accidentally crashes into a parked car. In a confused state after the incident, Zach mistakenly believes that Zoey, who shares his name, is his girlfriend.

At the hospital, Zoey meets Zach's parents who mistakenly think she’s his girlfriend due to his memory loss. Invited to dinner to keep things light for Zach, she meets his younger sister Avery and cousin Miles, discovering shared interests.

Zoey is invited on a ski trip, prompting her to cancel plans with her mother, Paula, to join Zach and his friends. This decision marks a pivotal moment in her burgeoning relationship with Zach as they share more personal experiences.

During the ski trip, Zoey shares a kiss with Miles in a hot tub after bonding over snowboarding lessons. This kiss is charged with chemistry, but Zoey's feelings begin to wane when she learns about Miles' polyamorous relationship.

Despite her earlier emotional turmoil, Zoey decides to focus on her growing connection with Zach. They spend leisurely days playing Jenga and chess, and share an intimate meal where Zach cooks a gourmet pizza, allowing them to bond further.

Upon returning to the MacLaren residence, Zoey is shocked to meet another girl named Zoey who plays soccer. This unexpected encounter leads to misunderstandings about identity and a humorous moment when Zach's family gets involved.

The following day, Zoey faces campus rumors about her alleged antics, leading to a heated conversation with Elle. Elle reveals her secret relationship with a delivery person, illustrating the strain in their friendship.

In her moment of need, Zoey confides in her mother, Paula, who encourages her to follow her heart. This heartfelt conversation inspires Zoey to take action regarding her feelings for Zach and her friendship with Elle.

Upon returning to campus, Zoey writes a sincere apology poem to Elle, which helps mend their friendship. This act of kindness allows them to regain trust and understanding after their emotional fallout.

During the Jam Fest, Zoey finally gathers the courage to express her feelings to Zach. To her surprise, Zach reveals that he has ended his relationship with the other Zoey, leading to a passionate kiss that solidifies their connection amidst the festival's lively atmosphere.
