Synopsis/Details
When a guarded British CEO and a newly minted American emergency doctor cross paths in a Liverpool pub, a spontaneous night together unexpectedly plants the seed for something deeper: a long-distance romance built entirely through handwritten letters. Sarah Taylor, born and raised in Liverpool, is the brilliant but emotionally walled-off founder of a rising financial firm based in London. Still reeling from the unsolved murder of her father years earlier, Sarah clings to control — in her work, in her silence, and in her need to appear unshakable. With her family strained and her father’s long-awaited trial approaching, she buries vulnerability under a sharp mind and colder habits. Dani Bennett is fresh out of residency, beginning her career as a trauma doctor in New York. Raised in instability and scarred by rejection from her mother, Dani masks her insecurity with humor and intensity. She’s quick on her feet in the ER, but emotionally adrift — until Sarah enters her life like lightning in a bottle. Their first meeting ends not with exchanged numbers, but with the decision to write each other letters. Across cities and time zones, their notes become more vulnerable, their connection more undeniable. But just as the bond deepens, Sarah cuts communication — overwhelmed by the unraveling pressures of work, family, and a past that’s catching up with her. And then the pandemic hits. In New York, Dani is plunged into a world of chaos, loss, and burnout on the frontlines of COVID. Unable to reach Sarah, she spirals. At her lowest, she’s stopped from making an impulsive trip to London by her best friend James — a choice that ultimately leads her to Rachel, a confident fellow surgeon who helps her start to feel grounded again. When the world begins to reopen, a letter from Sarah arrives. A spark reignites — not in fantasy, but in truth. What follows is not a fairy tale, but something harder and more beautiful: a reckoning with the past and the cautious hope of something lasting. Tell Me Something is an intimate, heartfelt drama about love found, lost, and fought for — about two women learning to choose vulnerability over control in a world that doesn’t make it easy
