Erik Stevens crashes an annual Spring Break pilgrimage among a large group of friends where he meets Renata Gilliam, a big beautiful social media influencer with an inner confidence that she's too shy to express outwardly among her close friends. Renata is crazy about a popular and handsome university buddy who has friend-zoned her since their freshman year, and Erik decides to help her win over a man who doesn't quite see her as girlfriend material. Sparks fly the wrong way, and Renata juggles two men and some women, too. What has this gorgeous stranger Erik gotten her into, and how does he know Tony Stark, the man she has an interview with during the vacation?
