When high school sweethearts Rosie and Dominic hit a wall after a decade of marriage, she's ready to fight for what they've lost—and she's dragging her reluctant, emotionally-guarded ex-soldier husband to relationship boot camp whether he likes it or not. What starts as Rosie's desperate attempt to save their marriage becomes unexpectedly transformative as Dom actually commits to the work, and they both begin discovering what rekindling real intimacy actually means. Watching these two navigate ridiculous exercises, honest conversations, and the messy vulnerability of falling back in love is both hilarious and deeply touching. But just when they're finally getting their spark back, a secret threatens to shake the foundation they've so carefully rebuilt—because sometimes the real work of a marriage happens after the hard conversations.
Reading soundtrack
Intense, sensual indie rock and R&B with raw vulnerability—think smoldering desire meets desperate devotion. Sultry vocals, heavy bass, and anthems about fighting for what matters. Passionate, gritty, and intimate. Second chances never felt this electric.
