Sophie owns a chocolate shop where she sells Misfortune Cookies-dipped in bitter chocolate they contain messages she handwrites each day such as \\"Your car seems fine now\, but just wait...it will eventually be a source of frustration and unexpected delay.\\"
What starts as a gimmick\, turns into a surprise hit with customers. But when her ex-fiancee moves back to their small Washington town\, he is surprised at how bitter and unhappy Sophie has become. He proposes a bet--she must place an ad in the paper that simply states \\"Wanted\: Happiness.\\" If at least 100 people respond\, proving happiness isn't a myth\, she agrees to a date with him. If not\, he'll leave her alone forever.
Sophie is convinced she'll win\, but fate has other ideas when a reporter at the paper is intrigued by the ad as a story and posts it in newspapers across the country.
