Lore & Background
Amy (Georgina Campbell) and Frank (Joe Cole) live under a system that pairs people into relationships for fixed lengths of time, using a round device called Coach, until it names their lifelong partner on "pairing day" with a claimed 99.8 percent success rate. Their first match together lasts only 12 hours; they get on at once and part regretting that they did not sleep together.
