The Eiffel Tower. Sunset. It’s been twenty years since April had that perfect kiss with Paul—and twenty years minus fifteen minutes since she ditched him. When an old photo of the kiss goes viral, April is confronted by how much the memory still means to her. So much that she falls into chaotic old habits, posts something impulsive, and becomes an internet villain. April is losing clients, friends, and her last shreds of dignity.

On the surface, Paul is a sensible, reliable guy. Underneath it all, he’s just trying to forget how once he kissed a magic, messy girl, and for a moment his life made sense. When Paul sees the internet trolls coming for his long-lost April, he’s got a new mission: defend her at all costs. Even if that means going back to Paris and recreating the kiss for a dating app’s desperate marketing stunt. 

Will April and Paul stick to the plan and keep their reunion strictly business? Probably not, but let’s watch them try.
