- A woman meets a handsome football player while online dating, only to learn things might not be as they appear.
- LESLIE CAMPBELL (28), a gorgeous and successful career woman, heads home for Christmas to visit her parents. As soon as her plane lands, she feels pressure from her family about her single status. Her sister, FAITH (26), happily married, suggests she date DEVIN (28), a handsome bartender who they have known since high school. Leslie doesn't give Devin a second glance but says in jest that she would like to date MIKE (28), a professional football player. To encourage her sister to "get back out there", Faith creates a fake online profile for Mike. When Leslie receives a flirtatious social media message form Mike, she asks Devin to use his IT skills to research if the man online is who he claims to be. By coincidence, Faith discovers that Mike is participating in a Christmas charity dating auction. Faith is the highest bidder and she asks Mike to make no mention of the auction on his date with Leslie.
Sparks fly when Leslie meets the real Mike. But Leslie notices a disconnect in Mike's online persona. The sweet and sensitive guy she fell for is really an ego-obsessed dude looking for eye-candy. Disappointed, Leslie heads over to Devin's bar alone. She stays until closing and they share a deep and meaningful connection. Leslie confronts Faith about the "fishy" date with Mike. Faith apologizes but Leslie is hurt that her sister would "catfish" her. Their mother asks, "Who wants catfish?" and laughter ensues. At the end of the night, Leslie walks Devin to his door. She sees for the first time that he checks off everything on the list that matters most...he's a kind and genuine man.
