Wendy and Liam were bad at dating. They were even worse at falling in love. THE BAD DATERS is a darkly funny love story about moving on, making an effort, and letting someone love you. Set in Dublin and unfolding over a series of dates, a dating website brings Wendy and Liam together for a blind date neither wants.

Liam is looking for someone special, Wendy is looking for anyone but him. What happens when the last thing you’re looking for is exactly what you find? Blending biting Irish humor with emotional candor, THE BAD DATERS explores grief, loneliness, and the fragile hope of starting again.
