Ethan Cole has his vacation planned down to the minute color-coded itineraries, prepaid excursions, even shirts folded like a showroom display. But when he misses a connecting flight, loses his luggage, and discovers his hotel room has been double-booked, his perfect schedule collapses faster than a bad formula on a spreadsheet.
Enter Luca Russo: free-spirited photographer, chaos in motion, and Ethan’s new roommate. Luca thrives on unplanned moments, a camera slung across his shoulder, laughter never far away. To Ethan, he’s every unchecked box and broken rule rolled into one.
From a zipline gone wrong to a rainstorm that forces them under the same roof, they clash at every turn. Yet somewhere between teasing arguments and late-night talks, something real starts to take shape. Luca shows Ethan the beauty of loosening his grip, while Ethan proves the quiet strength of steadiness.
The more plans unravel, the more right it feels to be stuck together. But when old fears resurface, they’ll have to choose: was this only a fling born of chaos, or the start of something lasting?
Can a meticulous accountant and a reckless photographer find balance in paradise?
