The series follows a group of single parents who have been nominated by their grown-up kids for a second chance at love. However, what the parents don't know is that their kids will be watching their dates from a secret surveillance room and will have the chance to make dating decisions for their mum or dad.

One of the mother-daughter duos is Monique and Taiya. Monique's daughter is hoping her mum will find love on the show.
