00:00In the near future, scientists will invent a device called a timer, which is inserted into people's brains and counts the time until they meet their soul mate.
00:07Both parts of the pair must have a device to activate, and it will start beeping when they finally meet.
00:13The device immediately becomes a great success and almost most societies have it, but many people still refuse to buy it because they do not want the choice to be made for them.
00:21In Los Angeles, Zubarka Una has a timer that has not yet started, which means that her soul mate does not have it.
00:27After only a few months of having fun with her recent boyfriend, she convinces him to take the timer and take him to the clinic.
00:33Everyone there knows Una because she brings her boyfriend to make sure they are the same before she continues the relationship.
00:40The newest guy also gets a timer and he immediately activates it, discovering that he has two years left to meet his soul mate.
00:47Una looks at her timer, but he is still turned off and breaks up with the man, who is very excited to meet him right after he finishes college.
00:55In the meantime, Una's half-sister Steph still has a lot of connections for one night with random men,
01:01whose timers will soon run out because the timer says that she will meet her soul mate in 15 years.
01:06She often tells Una that they should also enjoy life until the time comes to meet their soul mate, but Una refuses to be with anyone without a guarantee.
01:15One day, Una was in the mall when the tenant Mikey tried to flirt with her.
01:19Una is flustered, but can see that his timer already has a date, which means that he is not her soul mate.
01:25Mikey also notices her timer and points out that they could still be together because he has been waiting for a long time, but Una rejects him.
01:31That night, the sisters go to their parents' house.
01:34Their younger brother Jesse, who is old enough to get his timer, is called to do the procedure at home.
01:41As soon as Jesse gets the implant, he writes and shows that he will meet his soul mate in three days.
01:46The whole family is excited and congratulates him, but Una can't help but say that it's unfair.
01:51When she realizes that she has killed the mood, she also congratulates Jesse and leaves without dinner.
01:56Tired and frustrated by her situation, Una returns to the mall and after some flirting, she asks Mikey to spend the night together.
02:02Mikey immediately agrees and after telling his colleagues to take his place, he leaves with Una in her car.
02:08It's an awkward journey because they don't really know each other, and Una begins to question her ideas when they arrive at Mikey's apartment,
02:15because the four timers and the mess in the room additionally realize how young he is.
02:19She thinks about leaving, but Mikey insists that it's okay before they share a kiss.
02:24It's a nice moment, but when he sees that the timer is only four months old, Una feels guilty and apologizes to Mikey before leaving.
02:31The next day, Una is surprised to discover that her last patient is Mikey, who found her because she is the only dentist with that last name.
02:38He really wants to hang out with her, explaining that he is a musician in a band, not just a beggar.
02:43Mikey also says that the timer shows the end of the game, but life revolves around winding roads,
02:48but Una is still not interested.
02:51She thinks it would be like cheating on his future soulmate.
02:55In the evening, Una goes to sleep, but the guy is incredibly bored and only talks when he answers her questions.
03:01Una decides to cancel the meeting and goes to the club where Steph works as a bartender.
03:05To her surprise, Mikey's band is playing there, and when he sees him performing, something wakes up in Una.
03:11They eventually make eye contact and create so much tension that after the end of the gig, Una goes to Mikey's house to finally do the dirty work.
03:19When they get ready to start, they hear Mikey's neighbors coming and making a lot of noise, so Mikey goes out and begs them to shut up,
03:25explaining how incredible Una is and how this is an opportunity that comes once in a lifetime.
03:30Una hears all this and is extremely curious.
03:33After that, Mikey plays music to turn on their noise and go to work with her.
03:38The next day, Steph is at her daily job as a receptionist when a man named Dan comes in.
03:43She thinks he's very nice and starts flirting with him, but immediately lets him go when she notices that there is no timer.
03:48Later at home, Steph finds out that Una finally had a relationship and honors her, but also advises her not to meet Mikey anymore because it won't end well.
03:57A little later, Una's parents are very excited because today is the day when Jesse's timer reaches zero, which means that he should meet his soulmate.
04:06However, he spends the whole day at school, normally without any reactions.
04:09When Jesse returns home, the janitor Lucy meets her husband and daughter Soledad, which is when the time of surprise reaches zero,
04:17as well as Jesse's, which means that they are soulmates.
04:20While the teenagers are desperately fighting, Jesse's mother gets very excited and wants to start planning various things,
04:26but Lucy feels uncomfortable and immediately leaves with her family.
04:29In the evening, Una leaves her office when she is surprised to fall from her back and finally hits the attacker.
04:35It turns out that this is Mikey who insists that he wants to spend more time with her.
04:40She agrees and takes him back to her house.
04:42After another wonderful night together, Una can't tell how much Mikey likes her and they start spending a lot of time together outside the bedroom.
04:50Una even has friends with Mikey's timers, considering them more fun than she expected.
04:55One day, Una tells Mikey that her father is a music producer, but she hasn't seen him since the divorce.
05:01Mikey realizes that his daughter is a very important person in the industry and says that it makes their fight even more incredible.
05:07In the meantime, Steph and the boss yell at her that she didn't call on the phone.
05:11But luckily, Dan showed up and made up a story like a paravan.
05:14After the boss left, Dan shows a clear interest in Steph, which she doesn't like.
05:19However, she thinks he could be good for Una, so she tells him to visit her at the bar for dinner.
05:24Later, Steph calls Una, insisting that she hasn't been out too much lately.
05:28Una feels bad, but still doesn't tell her about Mikey, because she knows that Steph will blame her for it.
05:34That night, Una decides to hang out with Mikey, so Dan ends the conversation with Steph.
05:38They get along quickly and spend most of the night together, sharing more things about their lives.
05:43Dan explains that his wife died three years ago and believes that she was the one, so he has no interest in getting a timer.
05:49Until the end of the night, Steph pretends to fall in love with a guy.
05:52When Steph returns home, she is still angry at Una because she burned her.
05:56At that moment, she sees Mikey in Una's room and realizes that they were having fun in secret.
06:01Immediately, there is an argument about Mikey's timer, and the fact is that his soulmate will soon appear, so Mikey interrupts them and discovers that his timer is fake.
06:09That's just an excuse, because he explains that he just didn't want to be laughed at because of the trend, and admits that he doesn't believe that the timer really works.
06:17Una is shocked and hurt because of the lie, so she threw Mikey out.
06:20Days begin to pass, and Una can't stop thinking about Mikey.
06:24In fact, she realizes that thanks to the fact that they got together naturally, Una could be her own and enjoy their relationship, regardless of legitimacy or the future.
06:33In the end, she decides to get in touch with him again, and they talk about things to get out of it again.
06:39When it's time for the day of gratitude, Una decides to bring Mikey to her partner.
06:44Luz and her family are also there with some food from their country, hoping that both families will get along.
06:50Teenagers still feel uncomfortable, but Mikey knows how to speak Spanish, so he behaves like a translator between the two groups.
06:57Una's parents have a lot of questions for Mikey, but Una answers them instead, not allowing him to speak, because she is worried that everything he says will be used to judge them.
07:06After dinner, Una's mother tells her that she likes Mikey very much, but is worried about a potential broken heart when Una's soulmate finally appears.
07:15In the meantime, Denis and Steph begin to meet in secret and start a very unrequited relationship.
07:20A little later, Mikey tells Una that he loves her, which causes her to panic and run away.
07:24Needing serious advice, Una decides to visit her biological father, Rick, and Steph also goes as a support.
07:30From the start, the situation is very uncomfortable, so Una reduces the tension by sharing a CD with Mikey's music, so he can think.
07:37Then she asks why he never got a timer, but on her shock, Rick discovers that he has.
07:41This means that her mother lied when she claimed that they broke up because Rick would not get a timer.
07:46Rick has a little time left to get to know his soulmate, but he would rather enjoy life and real emotions.
07:53When the sisters get ready to leave, they discover that Rick's much younger girl has removed her timer because she loves Rick and her feelings are more real than what the timer says.
08:01Inspired by this, the sisters rush to the clinic to remove the timer so they can live their days more spontaneously.
08:07The employees warn them that if the device is removed once, they cannot put it back in.
08:12So this is the last chance to find the real one.
08:15Steph does not care and immediately removes it, feeling relieved.
08:19However, when Una's turn comes, she blinks, and in that second her timer starts to beep to indicate that her soulmate has finally got hers.
08:27There are only 5 hours left until the meeting, and Una decides to hold her timer, claiming that it is just a joy, but Steph gets angry at her and feels betrayed.
08:36Later, the sisters go to their parents' house to celebrate their joint birthday.
08:40While their parents are hanging out, Jess comes to Soledad and discovers that he has learned a little Spanish for her.
08:45Without the pressure of their families, the teenagers manage to finally connect under their guidance.
08:50Mike is also invited and works as a translator between Luz and Una's mother, who have decided to keep their relationship as a boss and an employee and let the teenagers solve things on their own.
09:00In the meantime, Steph is happy to hang out with Dan, who was also invited.
09:04At that moment, Una jumps at him, and their timers turn off, indicating that they are soulmates.
09:09Steph immediately gets angry and rushes to the kitchen, while Mike and Dan are having fun.
09:14Dan goes after Steph and tries to comfort her, just so that Una would stop him.
09:18There is another argument, because Steph feels like she is losing the best thing that happened to her, accusing Una of always taking things from her.
09:25However, Una says that Steph is her best friend and that nothing in her life is worth losing, not even her soulmate.
09:32Then Una leaves, and Dan tells Steph that he got the timer just for her.
09:36He doesn't care about Una, he likes Steph.
09:38The next day, Una goes to see Mike and discovers that the timer is off because she wants to be with him.
09:43Mike is touched by the gesture, but refuses, saying that he can say that she is not in love with him, and that he is just something she has for sure.
09:50Angry, Una leaves and visits Steph.
09:53After a heart-to-heart conversation, the sister finally calms down.
09:56A little later, Una goes out to run, but Dan is there, so they had a very awkward conversation.
10:01They can say they have some common ground, but now it's too late, and they go their own way.
