When a high-powered toy CEO with a broken heart encounters the supermodel who shattered it years ago, sparks fly harder than champagne bubbles at a product launch. Barbie's built a successful empire to distract from her past, but one fateful week in NYC forces her to confront the woman she never stopped loving—and Kenzie is determined to prove that second chances are worth fighting for. Packed with witty banter, scorching chemistry, and the kind of emotional depth that makes you believe in true love all over again, this sapphic take on an icon is the perfect blend of spicy tension and laugh-out-loud moments. Will these two finally get their happy ending, or will this reunion just leave them both feeling like discarded toys?
Reading soundtrack
Sensual indie-pop and R&B with undercurrent of tension. Think Phoebe Bridgers meets SZA—vulnerable yet confident, witty and flirtatious. Champagne-bright moments softening into late-night yearning. Contemporary, cinematic, charged with second-chance electricity.
