Recruited by boss Humphrey Wells (Christoph Waltz), Paul is paired up with straight A recruit Sophie Pettingel (played impeccably by Australian actress Sophie Wilde) who takes a dislike to her new companion, but later bonds with him.
The pair quickly become aware that their new job is anything but normal. When Sophie is headhunted by the Department of Coincidence to arrange a meet-cute between two people, Paul becomes increasingly intrigued by the firm.
