Have you ever wondered how much of life comes down to the smallest details?
How two complete strangers-who seem to have nothing in common-can keep crossing paths again and again?
And how a moments can decide whether they build a life together... or drift past each other forever?
At twenty, Josephine walks out of a juvenile correctional facility with nothing to her name. No money. No family to catch her if she falls. Only determination-and the stubborn belief that New York might give her a second chance.
It doesn't take long for her to realize that starting over isn't just hard. It's brutal. And the past never lets go easily.
Just when she thinks she's found solid ground beside Mike-a man who loves her, who would give her a home-the world shifts again, and everything she's built threatens to collapse.
Mike, Josephine's complete opposite, is a cautious twenty-six-year-old doctor racing through life at a pace that barely allows him to breathe. His only real friend, Dean, keeps trying to pull him out of the endless grind-with mixed results. But one single night sets off a chain reaction that will change Mike's life forever.
Josephine and Mike don't belong together.
And yet they grow together, fall apart together, and somehow keep finding their way back to each other.
Their story isn't a sugary romance. It's more like biting into a lemon-sharp, unexpected-only to discover a sweetness no one saw coming. This isn't a fairytale love story. It's the kind of story life writes on its own, over years.
And when they finally look back, all they can say is:
"This wasn't the plan."
But maybe that's exactly what makes it something truly special.
