They'll never make it. 

Ren Kurosawa and Mikayla Davis will kill each other before Ren's latest film sees the light of day. He's sure of it. After Ren's previous assistant cracks under his demands, he begrudgingly accepts Mikayla as a replacement. Yet, the two have a history deeper than a fractious working relationship. 

For years, the two have been in each other's social orbits through acquaintances. However, their mutual contempt once boiled over in a kiss. One Ren tries to forget until Mikayla walks back into his life and quickly derails his passion project. Mikayla isn't happy about their circumstances either. The only reason she signed up to help was for the cash and a trip to Japan. She's determined to get through filming and then get out of Ren's life forever.

Despite their efforts, the memory of their kiss lingers...until there is another kiss. And even more after that. The two soon find themselves enthralled in a passionate relationship. Nevertheless, the disdain remains because they both know they have nothing in common. Mikayla's all about fun and freedom and Ren only cares about box office dividends. So the two of them definitely won't make it.
