Like many 20-somethings her age, Sophie (Lana Condor, ‘To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before’, ‘Deadly Class’) is faced with a world of choices. Although, there are worries regarding the future, family, job, what she is truly confused about is the big choice – the momentous one.

He has moved with his family, taken a job out of town – as in WAY out of town.
Calvin is a published scientist whose posting was supposed to be temporary. However, now, “temporary” is beginning to read more like “permanent”. Then there is Walt (Cole Sprouse, ‘Riverdale’, ‘Five Feet Apart’). Walt is also confronted with choices, but not many, as he is pretty content with his going nowhere assistant barista job in a college bookshop. It is his solitary existence, which is until he meets Ginny (Emily Rudd, ‘Fear Street’).
