Yet she's always wanted to go skydiving, enter a karaoke competition and she surely could squeeze excitement in as well as achieve her law ambitions.
But Dan, a work colleague who lives life by the seat of his pants, believes she's going about things all wrong. It's spontaneity she's missing.
Even the greatest plan can go fundamentally wrong in love and at work. Katie can plan to love someone forever, but sometimes that someone doesn't plan to love you back. Sometimes careers can become derailed and even go off track.
Can Katie learn to let go because sometimes life needs to be lived in the moment?
