THE GRAVITY BETWEEN US

​"If this was a movie, we'd have our happy ending. But this clearly isn't a movie​."

Ira Mayfield, a spirited professional tennis player from New York , dreams of escape. Her life is dominated by a hilarious but overbearing joint family whose constant well-meaning critique especially regarding her career makes her restless. Across the world in Sydney , Australia, Captain Ian Sterling operates on strict routine and emotional shutdown. A revered, handsome airline pilot , Ian hides the immense secret and sacrifice of raising his young nephew , Leo (the child his sister abandoned), pouring all his energy into work to avoid feeling anything.
​Their fates collide during a frantic moment on a rainy New York street when a literal accident forces Ira and Ian into an antagonistic first meeting. Soon after, Ira is desperate to fly to a cousin's wedding across the globe. When her long-haul flight is mysteriously declined, leading to a chaotic argument at the gate, she is shocked to find the stern, familiar face of Ian Sterling, the Captain of the flight, dismissing her with cold professionalism.
​From opposite sides of the world and opposite sides of the emotional spectrum, their accidental encounters become a dizzying, reluctant journey across continents. Ira's chaotic energy starts to break through Ian's disciplined walls, forcing him to balance his crushing duty to Leo with a sudden, inconvenient desire. It is a story of two souls trying to outrun their lives, only to discover that the immense distance and the burdens they carry are precisely what binds them.
