A week. One roof. Zero margin for error.

Ceramicist Lia Santos has thirty days of closure risk hanging over Union Arc Market. Grant writer Theo Kline has the checklist, the keys, and a clause that forces them to sleep on the mezzanine until launch.

What starts as sawdust and side-eye turns into late-night planning, one careful kiss, and a project worth protecting. When a city press release erases Lia’s work, the fallout threatens the maze, the funding, and a fragile new trust.

He can fix logistics. She owns the story. Together, they might save both.

A 90-minute romcom about forced proximity, found family, and choosing each other.
