Ethan Price keeps his life mapped to the minute flights, meetings, even the future he's building piece by piece. Nothing slips off schedule. Until a canceled flight leaves him stuck overnight in a city he barely knows. Sharing a tiny hotel room with a stranger wasn't on the agenda, and neither was watching his tidy order unravel.

Luca Morales lives for detours. A wrong bus, a sudden rainstorm he calls it all adventure. When he crashes into Ethan's rigid world, he doesn't just see a man in a wrinkled suit. He sees someone who's forgotten how to laugh, how to taste noodles from a street cart at midnight, how to walk without knowing the destination.

One night stretches into a blur of tourist spots, soaked shoes, and late dinners where secrets slip out more easily than they should. Frustration gives way to laughter, and the lines Ethan has drawn around himself start to blur.

But flights don't stay grounded forever. And the clock, always ticking, forces a choice: hold on to the safety of order, or step into a rhythm that feels wildly, dangerously alive.

Sometimes the best journeys begin with a delay. But can this one last past tomorrow?
