Hot Tempo

Derek
I’m a freelance studio musician, but lately, work has dried up, leaving my finances in a tailspin.
When my sister, Deva, offers to help, I reluctantly go along with her plan to collaborate with her best friend, Aimee.
She's everything I can't stand— too bubbly and buried in her phone.
Being stuck under her chirpy demeanor is infuriating, but I need this gig for the money.
As her relentless enthusiasm fills the planning sessions, I try to keep my cool, yet I can’t ignore the sparks flying between us.
Just when I finally let my guard down, my old insecurities grip me, forcing me to question if I can risk it all for someone I never imagined falling for.

Aimee
As a social media influencer and event planner, I thrive on excitement, and working with Derek is electrifying, even if he’s a challenge.
He’s grumpy and doesn’t share my enthusiasm for the upcoming event, but I see the talent beneath that hard exterior.
With this gig pivotal for my career, I refuse to let his snark ruin my vision.
As we collaborate, I catch glimpses of his passion for music and moments when he shows vulnerability.
It’s confusing; our chemistry is undeniable, yet our differences loom large.
Just when I think we’re on the right track, the shadows of past misunderstandings threaten to tear us apart.
Can we find a way to bridge the gap for something real?
