Emma, a single thirty‑year‑old living in Wales, feels her routine of flavorless speed‑dating growing desperate. After discovering a novel method to attract partners, she finds herself almost flawless, ready to meet Mr. Right. At the same time, Ianto Jones awakens in the body of a woman, causing confusion at work and stirring amusement, suspicion, and a bit of jealousy. With Jack Harkness observing, the story pivots around the elusive idea of perfection and what it really means for each character. Set against a science‑fiction backdrop, the narrative explores identity, gender, and the search for connection in contemporary Wales.
