A Romantic Comedy of Fate & Fortune.
Genre: Romantic Comedy / Contemporary Romance.
Themes: fate, class divide, identity, love vs. luck, control vs. chaos.
She's lived a charmed life.
Everything always works out for Lola Bennett-promotions land in her lap, trains arrive just in time, heels never break, and even spilled coffee somehow misses her white dress. Raised in an upper-class world of polish and privilege, Lola believes luck is just part of who she is. Invisible. Effortless. Expected.
Jack Harper, on the other hand, can't catch a break.
Buses splash him, jobs fall through, wallets disappear, and the universe seems personally offended by his existence. He lives simply, works hard, and expects nothing-because hope, in his experience, only makes the fall harder.
Then one night, in a crowded nightclub buzzing with neon lights and bad decisions, their paths cross.
A spilled drink. A laugh. A moment that shouldn't matter.
A kiss that changes everything.
The second they part ways, fate flips the script.
Suddenly, Jack's world starts falling into place-opportunities appear, doors open, luck follows him like a loyal shadow. Meanwhile, Lola's perfect life begins to unravel in spectacular, humiliating fashion. Missed meetings. Lost jobs. Public mishaps. Everything that once came easily now fights back.
Convinced the kiss caused it, Lola sets out to find the mystery man who unknowingly stole her luck.
But as she tracks him down, something unexpected happens.
Jack learns that luck alone doesn't make life meaningful.
And Lola discovers that love, resilience, and joy can exist even when everything goes wrong.
When they finally reunite, they must decide-do they undo the magic... or trust that fate knew exactly what it was doing all along?
