Prescribed Distance

Love didn't interrupt their career-it asked them who they were without it.

Yuki Ishikawa is more than a volleyball player-he is Japan's pride.

At thirty, he captains the Japanese National Team, wears jersey number 14, and lives a life ruled by discipline. Playing in Italy for Sir Safety Perugia, his world revolves around training, matches, and unwavering devotion to the game. There is no girlfriend. No distractions. Volleyball is his everything.

Astrea Aleair lives by a different rhythm.

A physician based in New Zealand and one of the face doctors of Apollo Medical Hospital, she volunteers in medical missions across the world. She heals where she's needed most, yet still finds time to travel, paint, and breathe life beyond the hospital walls.

Two lives. Two definitions of commitment.

When a man devoted to the court meets a woman who believes life should be fully lived-
what happens when distance, duty, and love collide?

A slow-burn romance about devotion, choice, and the space between two hearts.
