The Lovers is an epic romance time travel adventure film.

A couple, Julia and Eddie, on the brink of break-up get a second chance at love when retiring master cupid, Sam, accidentally inhabits the boyfriend's body. Now, Sam, must cope with mortal life while his protege, Marcus, works to get their worlds back to normal before their ferocious boss Kerubiel finds out. Marcus better hurry, Julia is falling in love all over again - and not with Eddie.
