Tagline: Who is the real John D.?
Investigative journalist John Dumaguina is assigned to cover a meme that has been spreading like wildfire over the past few months. The meme is a love letter addressed to a "John D." and written by a "Kit" and is being passed on to fulfill the writer's wish that the letter eventually reaches the correct John D. The letter does not drop many hints about the identities of the sender and the addressee, making John believe that it is just a misinterpreted literary composition and that "John D." stands for "John Doe". But still, the interest remains and the network John works for, seeing a potential marketing strategy in the story, decides to publicize the search for the real Kit.

The meme is a love letter addressed to a "John D." and written by a "Kit" and is being passed on to fulfill the writer's wish that the letter eventually reaches the correct John D. The letter does not drop many hints about the identities of the sender and the addressee, making John believe that it is just a misinterpreted literary composition and that "John D." stands for "John Doe". But still, the interest remains and the network John works for, seeing a potential marketing strategy in the story, decides to publicize the search for the real Kit.
During his search, John and his assistant, Mia Glenn, come across the many people who forwarded or reposted the letter. They hear stories about love lost, love regained, and love found; themes echoed by Kit's letter. John, on the other hand, slowly begins to hope that the love letter is real as he lives his own fantasies about a love he once lost: Lorraine. Finally, they reach the first person who blogged the meme, an anime fan named NaruNaru2_6. NaruNaru2_6 explains that she was not the one who wrote the letter, but instead saw it on one of the anime message boards. The message board had closed down years prior, but John recognizes its name to be one that Lorraine frequented when they were younger. Mia retrieves the username and email of the poster and John search ends when he realizes that the letter was written, indeed, by Lorraine.
John confronts Lorraine only to find that she is married and with child. Lorraine admits to being Kit. She also admits that John D. is John, himself. She says that her husband is already aware of the story of John D. and that he has her permission to run the story if "that is what John D. deems appropriate." John realizes that there is no happy ending and decides to hire actors to play John and Kit so he and Lorraine would be left at peace and the story would have its happy ending.
