When a struggling writer meets a woman with an unforgettable story on the eve of her cross-country move, they spend one perfect day together that sparks an unexpected connection—and becomes the inspiration for his debut novel. They decide to meet every year on the same date, rekindling their bond across time and distance while their lives take them in different directions. But as Ben's novel gains traction and Fallon's trust deepens, she begins to wonder if their carefully documented romance is as genuine as it feels, or if she's been unknowingly living as a character in his carefully constructed narrative. This is a gorgeously emotional, twist-filled exploration of how truth and fiction blur when two people are writing their own love story.
Reading soundtrack
Indie pop and soft R&B for stolen moments and bittersweet reunions. Think vulnerable vocals, lo-fi beats, and that ache of loving someone across time. Acoustic guitars meet sensual undertones—hopeful yet haunted.
