Viola has a problem. Shipwrecked on the coast of Ilyria, California, Viola disguises herself as a man and begins working for the city's Duke, Orsino, whom she quickly falls for. Orsino, however, is hopelessly in love with the beautiful society woman Olivia, despite her repeated rejections. In an attempt to win Olivia’s heart, Orsino sends Viola to deliver another message on his behalf. But things take an unexpected turn when Olivia falls for Viola thinking she's a man. What follows is a rollercoaster of confusion, romance, and self-discovery.
