Aspiring journalist Penelope-Marie Papadopoulos – “Pen” to her friends – leaves her home in the lake country north of Toronto and heads to the big city. Her mission: to find her place in the world, to investigate the mysterious disappearance of her ex-boyfriend, and to leave behind her childhood nickname of “Unlucky.”

When the big move lands her in a sweltering fourth-floor walkup apartment and a dead-end retail job, Pen fears that bad luck has moved right in with her. But as she learns to take her fate into her own hands, she begins to glimpse enticing new possibilities for a life rich in love, friendship, and purpose.
