Grace Eze
is a walking success story, thank you very much. Ivy League? Conquered. Law school? Crushed it. Athletic scholarship that made her immigrant parents actually brag about? Chef's kiss. But when her perfect and ambitious boyfriend, who, mind you, is in tech, drops to one knee after two perfectl years together, Grace does the most un-Grace thing imaginable: she says no. Plot twist-she has no idea why. All she knows is that the more she grows in her faith, the less her meticulously color-coded life plan makes sense. Cue existential crisis in 3... 2... 1...
Tyler Brooks
had the dream: third year in the NBA, highlights on SportsCenter, sneaker deals in negotiation, and a girlfriend who looked great in his jersey. Then his ACL tears, his career hangs in the balance, and suddenly everyone disappears faster than free agents in July. Girlfriend? Gone. "Friends"? Apparently only friendship-adjacent. The only people still in his corner are God and his family, which would be touching if it wasn't also terrifying. Is this really it? Peak at twenty-two?
While on a trip in her hometown for her parents wedding anniversary, she's not the only one who's not so excited to celebrate love. Tyler, her childhood friend, who taught her and her brother all that they know about the beautiful game, is there, in crutches. Maybe she'll finally get her answers on why he stoped coming to her games and eventually talking to her, his first year as a pro.
They both want to be left ALONE!
But somewhere between his grueling rehab sessions and her constant"what am I doing with my life" prayers, between learning to let God write the story and learning that maybe some things are better unplanned, these two perfectly imperfect people start to wonder: what if the best thing that ever happened was everything falling apart?
Turns out, sometimes you have to lose the plan to find the person.
