Romy returns home for a six-week holiday, expecting a quiet break from her busy life. But when her cousin Agnes and her two neighbours, Ashley and Caiten, surprise her with food and company, the holiday takes an unexpected turn. As Romy cleans out her attic, she hears her parents return unexpectedly, panicking because they don't know she's been paying her own college tuition. After finally confessing the truth, she's shocked when her parents reveal their own surprise-they both received promotions and are now able to repay her.
With this weight lifted, Romy is inspired to use her savings on something she's dreamed of for years: a journey to Paris to find a love story like her parents'. After learning they met there, she plans a spontaneous trip to France with Agnes, Ashley, and Caiten. From the sun-soaked streets of Nice to the romantic atmosphere of Paris, the four friends embark on a thrilling six-week adventure through France, with each new city offering its own surprises.
Along the way, Romy watches as her friends' relationships evolve in unexpected ways, while she wonders if love is in the cards for her. As their journey brings them closer to Paris, Romy's emotions swirl-will she find the love she's been yearning for, or was her dream destined to be just that: a dream?
