"You depict the life of film sets during the early days of the pandemic very accurately. The "behind the scenes" view of how film sets work, mixed with the viewpoint of the two main characters, is vivid and detailed."
- ScreenCraft reader.
Brief Synopsis:
Kara and Luke are co-stars and friends, often mistaken for a couple, but a bonding experience off-set lets them know they have even more in common. Once the pandemic shuts down their film, they must self-isolate. Having no one to turn to, they decide to quarantine together.
As they push each other's boundaries, learn about their relationships and upbringing, and explore their chemical reaction to each other - a perfect environment is created for a romance to flourish.
Alas, they still have to navigate the "new normal", made even more real by Luke's asthma. New trials come with the industry opening back up, Luke's co-star driving them apart, and a sickness of a one.
This whirlwind of a romance will leave you empathizing, laughing, taking sides, and reminiscing about the quarantine like never before.
