It's Christmastime, 1990 and Jonathan Trager (John Cusack) meets transplanted Brit Sara Thomas (Kate Beckinsale) at Bloomingdale's when both grab for a pair of gift gloves. It's instant attraction and the two spend the evening wandering around, skating, eating fancy desserts at a restaurant called "Serendipity" and falling in love. Both are involved in other relationships and when Jonathan asks for Sara's phone number, she says that if the two are meant to be together, fate will see to it.
After a series of near misses, years later, the two haven't hooked up. Jonathan, now a producer for ESPN, is about to be married to Hally (Bridget Moynahan) and Sara, a shrink, lives in San Francisco and will marry Lars (John Corbett) a wacky TV new age musician/guru. Both are still curious and need closure so, with the help of Sara's pal Eve (Molly Shannon) and Jonathan's buddy Dean (Jeremy Piven), the two start a desperate search that, fate willing, might bring them back together.
