Complete opposites in everything - personality, goals, and temperament - they clash and wind up going their separate ways. 12 years later, they're now in their early thirties, and still, appear to be opposites in everything - except their desire to find the perfect mate. Now, friends, they decide to help each other out in that quest. A modern-day comedy about love, marriage, and the pressure to find both, Bean Chaff asks the question: can the two people who could never imagine being together, can finally grow up and understand what love is?
