Synopsis

At 25, Dani Galler just gave up everything—an apartment she loved, a job she liked, and a long-distance boyfriend she wasted years planning to marry. Starting over means figuring out her next career move, finding a new place to live, and maybe, fingers crossed, falling in love again.

What she’s not looking for is pity—especially from Jake Litman, her awkward, bespectacled childhood friend from Jewish summer camp. Back then, he followed her everywhere, eager for her advice and friendship. Now, a decade later, he’s reappeared, transformed into a Greek god of a man with a penthouse overlooking Lake Michigan and a girlfriend who looks like she wakes up red carpet-ready every single day.

Desperate to reclaim the confidence of her camp days, Dani becomes fixated on getting back to the version of herself who once seemed poised for a happy ever after. If she can rediscover that spark, she may avoid her worst-case scenario: moving home to live with her parents and work for her suddenly successful brother.

As Dani and Jake revisit shared memories and their connection intensifies, Dani starts to wonder if the life she’s chasing isn’t about rediscovering who she was—but embracing who she could become.
